well i get to do a cab swap sooner than i had planned. i got a new cab, and a PERFECT used core support. cost me a few $$ but it all worked out. so now i need to prep the new cab by fixing a small rust hole in the drivers floor board and weld in my good core support.
NOW for the reason WHY i need to do it..... i went to visit my M.I.L. today and when she left ot head to work, she backed into my 620. not only backed into it, but PUSHED it about 3 FEET back. i only noticed this about 2 hours after she left. i noticed it as the bumper that i had, with tweaked brackets, actually fit. and when i looked at it, it was tweaked down. so when i open the hood i noticed the radiator had been pushed back into the fan, and the alt fan was resting on the lower rad hose. i am going to be working on pulling it apart tomorrow as much as i can, bumper, grille, lights, everything i can find that needs to come apart to check the extent of damage but i already know its done. i will also be updating my pics as well.
this really sucks as i have been trying to get this thing nice and this, although a blessing, is a MAJOR setback. as i dont have the time or experience to fix this right now. i need a truck NOW... which really sucks. so now i have a choice. find someone that can do the weld work i need, OR wait on it, gather parts that are needed, and try to find a 78-79 KC to drive while i am working on my 73. i dont know which right now. i would prefer a KC as a driver since i like to kick the seat back a little more due to my back. my 73 at that point would be a play toy. it would have a nice drop, nice Titan rims, and some nice interior and paint work. but for now its broke and if i had turned it into insurance my baby would be totaled. not really a good day for me.
