i wrecked my old dodge last night, i looked at the damage today,the whole front clip is smashed, radiator is pushed to block, BHAF is pushed to the firewall,do yall think it would be better to fix it or look for another 1st gen?, this truck did run like a striped ape

 

That's too bad. What happened?

Wrecked first gen drivelines do make good candidates for conversion, if you want to pursue that route...

 

i was on a dirt road behind a '96 dodge dually, a deer jumped in front of him and he slammed on his brakes, and I ran into his flatbed

 

Smokey beast,, Where are you located
Peter.

 

I'm from near Durant, Oklahoma, in the southeast part of the state

 

sorry to hear that put up some pics so we can tell you more

 

Same hear sorry to hear that any pics??

 

Smoky,
Sorry to hear that I hit a deer in SE WI about 4 years back in my 95 F150. Not fun. I hear there is mor deer now in the US, than when the the Pilgrams came here during the 16th century.

 

If the damage is all above frame level and if the cab isn't damaged, you may want to rebuild. If it got the frame, you may want to use it as a donor.

If you want to build a crew cab, I know where there was a 4-door over near Stigler. PM me if you're interested or if you decide to sell. I'm north of you near Okmulgee.

 

may i ask why the heck my two posts have been removed ?

 

sorry yall but I don't have a camera, it looks to me that the entire front clip is totalled along with the doors, the only things salvageable under the hood is the motor block and the turbo, it does not look like it got frame, but I did find an '89 single cab, 2 wheel drive, dually, with a 5 speed tranny, and 200,000 miles,for $2000, it looks to have a pretty straight body and motor, do yall think it would be better/cheaper to rebuild or to get the '89?

 

if you've got the money grab the 89 while you figure out what to do with the 91. as said above it's a great canidate for conversion. take your time and maybe look for an older 4 door cab or something.
