Bodywork, I hate it

admin

I despise bodywork although this wasn't actual body metal. 10ga and 3/16 plate.Apparently the salt truck, not even a year old, was turning right and a tractor didn't see him and clipped the left corner of the body. The tailgate was drove in 6-8" in the corner which I straightened in our plow straightner using a couple of 20 ton cylinders. The back corner of the body was drove forward almost the same amount, I pulled out what I could using a loader and ended up cutting out the unsalvageable bits and replacing it with new.Damaged pics in this post, repaired in next...Mike Attached Images
