Cool black tan short bed

Saw this at Home Depot. Waited around for the owner but no dice. Normally not a fan of the stacked headlight edition but loved the two tone

That sucks. I hope they will be ok, although the truck won't be.

Re: Cool black tan short bed

Here's a clearer pic of the accident

I know our trucks are built a lot tougher than today's vehicles, but they do lack the air bags and ABS. I learned that one day, when someone in front of me hit the brakes, because they pretty much missed a turn. This was traveling at about 60 mph. I had to hit the brakes hard too and about lost control because of the truck not having ABS. But because of growing up with cars with no ABS, I quickly reacted to just pumping the brakes a couple of times to keep it under control. I thought for sure I was going to hit the car. He was totally oblivious that anyone was behind him when he decided to hit the brakes so he wouldn't miss his turn, and he took his sweet ass time making that turn. My heart was pounding for about an hour after that.
I sure hope and pray that everyone involved will be ok.

Another Sparks resident! I've probably seen that truck around, that home depot seems to be a weekly stop. Bummer that it wrecked... maybe the owner will fix it
