h67st Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Poor R-model.I thought the tree was an old oak but it more looked like a maple.It would be interesting to know if the truck will be fixed up and back on the road.Good news nobody was hurt including bulldog.P.S. I didn't note the left frame rail form though.It's a tulip poplar. Surprisingly after seeing what it did to the R model, they're a softwood type of tree.

Vladislav Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 It makes sense.The soft wood saved the driver's life.As of the serious reason nobody can know for shure what might save life or not in such a case.So that was the happy one.

fxfymn Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Definitely an E ticket ride, but the price of admission is high! Glad the driver proved Darwin wrong.

Brandt Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 No "R" model should die in vain. Thru this death others may live!! I'm looking at the parts I can use to keep mine alive. Does the owner want to part out the truck??
