I am going to look at THIS TRUCK Thursday or Friday. I just thought I would put it on here to see if y'all could figure it out. The lady on the phone had no clue.

Guesses of what happened and what is wrong with it?

 

Maybe somebody was doing a Dukes of Hazzard imitation and tried 'jumping' it from the looks of the front end damage. Ha. Water damage inside might indicate river crossing or other deep water attempt (?).
Can't tell if the frame is kinked in the middle between cab and flatbed but it sure looks like the truck was 'dropped' on the ground and hit front first... lol
Hey for the price of $175. which is the bid when I looked at the link, you could part it out and make a killing.

 

Yeah, it does look like the flatbed is into the back of the cab to me too. Indicates a buckled or bent frame. Looks like it could have went off a river bank and landed front first and then proceeded to gather water. Hard to say if it was running or not when this all happened. Hopefully the underside of the tranny and engine didn't suffer any trauma. The engine and tranny combo would make a good ford, suburban or vintage power wagon project. Good luck.

 

I think the "Right Front Turn Signal Lamp Out" message is a bit of an understatement.

 

Sad ending to a once-nice truck. Depending on what it goes for, I bet you could part it out and make a good deal of money on it. Just the flatbed alone would be worth something.

 

That's what I was thinking. A good Bradford costs over 2 grand around here.
