If a tree falls on a truck......

[Jeff in Pa]

One of my high school friends ( two years older ) got a job with a landscaping company right out of school.

He dropped a 14" round oak tree right into the bed and across the center of the cab, totalling out his mint '69 Ford F250 ( in 1977 )

Kind of interesting how the lights on the roof were not damaged. You do fast work!

$700 and it doesn't even have the holes in it for the cab lights.

I am surprised that roof skin was spot welded it versus done only with adhesive.

That's fast and neat work... you need to use special drill bits for spot welds? What did you use?

I used a Blair spot weld cutter.

Ford doesn't like to put the holes in the bumpers for sensors either huh!

I finally got the roof painted, I was planning to do it yesterday but I had to stay home thanks to the flu. I'm still sick as a dog but managed to get it done, it's in bake right now at 145° for the next 45 minutes and when it comes out I will be able to put it together.

It's all back together with the exception of the glass, the glass guys are coming Monday to install two new windows. The headliner is also new and if you thought $700 for the roof skin was expensive how about $900 for the headliner? Ever wonder why car insurance is so expensive?.
