Whoops

[tjd100]

My poor truck!
Slow speed just tipped, kept going and then went over.
Got it back on it's feet and drove 2 minutes back home no problem. Nothing broken except my pride and the coachwork.

No idea what I should do now, and any advice from people who've done the same much appreciated.

And if Mark's reading this - I'm really sorry!
I know I'm going to return it to full health but just don't know the best route...

depends if you can find a donor truck to cut the roof off
or replace it with a full convertible windshield and frame, either run the older doors or cut yours. Then run a full convertible shell. This will take bracing the body though as you lose most of the cab's strength

or chop it all off and cage it

what I'd like to know is how you rolled it out in the open You've got some talent Goosed it for a donut and it flopped?

 

[Deuling]

Can you get much for parts where you are?

You should have changed the u joints while you had easy access

what can I say? Turned sharp, too much power... Donut would imply there was actually a point to what I was doing.

Finding a donor shouldn't take too long. Most of them have rotted elsewhere.
How tricky is the cut & weld?

I'm going to have to look into the convertible option, never seen it.

Lots of info on the convertible conversion. Worth a look reading up on it since it calls for cutting, windshield stuff, and welding. Either option you take, it's good info.

Is the cap ok? If its not, perfect time to do a full vert and soft top.
