Been wrenching forever it seemed like. And that happened on the testdrive..
 
It has quite a bit of body damage to the sides as well. I ended up picking up an 87 gmc jimmy for 450, complete minus hood motor and paperwork. Now just have to swap everything over ... again!
 
Some a - hole wasn't paying attention came into my lane head on, I jerked the wheel to avoid him in a panic . Bad idea .. rear end broke loose slid sideways for a bit. Then just rolled.. guy didn't even stop ...
 
Damn that sux. Glad you survived
Years ago I got spun 180 on the highway,driving a Blazer(I think the gravel is the only thing that saved me form rolling). That is not a fun feeling!!
How fast were you going? How does the B-pillar look(did it bow/shift at all)?

Yeah I'm ok no broken bones, feels like a torn muscle by my left hip, bad seat belt rash the truck isn't that bad. Body damage pass. Side doors are bent . Can cut the top off But I'd rather have a clean looking k5. Since its my daily driver/weekend wheeler

Readymix is in Murretta. Couple others I've talked to are in Orange and around the lake. I'd help but not before BB, too much of my own stuff to do. :(
 
I can't see the pictures.... That's a lot of nice metal on the other truck. I would think some of that body is very usable, but like was said earlier full vert would be nice.

Lake Elsinore - My nephew just finished playing baseball in Lake Elsinore for the minor league team there.

I live about 5 blocks down from the baseball field ..
I could have went full vert, I parted out the truck and kept what I need to for the 87.
