You are so lucky....In 1999 a semi pulle dout in front of my grandfather and he hit the truck at about 70 mph. Grandad was driving a 96 or 97 Ram 3500 CTD. I have pics of his truck. Looked about like yours but the front end didnt give quiet as much. We lost grandad in that wreck. Consider your second a chance a lucky opportunity. God bless.

How did you survive that!? I've seen simpler wrecks where everybody died!


Totalled a semi-eh?

Maybe you are diabetic? I know a few people that have wrecked like that, and can't recall the previous 25 minutes before the crash.

This is the same thread that went around some months ago I think. If so, any updates on his condition yet. Interested to know how he's healing up.

Wow, If you look closely at the head on shots. I swear you can see the imprint of a bulldog on the hood.

Mercy sakes !! Did you go to church on Sunday ?

Though with a little duck tape and some super glue and I think that truck will be good as new ..... LOL

Glad you are OK, that's the main thing.

I also am thankful for your lifes' preservation. The Lord is certainly not done with you yet, keep your eyes focused upon Him - he has protected and led you so far! Wow! That RAM really demonstrates the structure these rigs have. Again very fortuate, but almost anything else, and you might not be here.

Glad to see your still with us. Let us have a moment of silence for a truck that can't be rebuilt. Truly a dead truck. This little guy will play a somber tune after the silence.

I hate to bring up an ancient thread, but did anybody happen to save copies of the pics he posted of his squashed Dodge. I'm doing a safety lecture in work and I'd like to use a few to illustrate how seatbelts keep you in the correct position in a wreck. Thanks,

Found them on the TDR. Amazing anyone survived that. I'm also amazed the the dash bezel in intact. Looks like not a scratch on it. Mine didn't survive 15 seconds of a radio thief.

Thanks for that. It's just as brutal as I remember it being.
