About five months ago i crashed my truck. A 2005 chevy silverado 2500 with an extended cab. I dont have my vechical certified since im lazy and everytime i go to work on it never get a peice of paper to go with it. But asides the point. Not that long ago the person im working it with finally made some time to pull it in and look underneath it to see what the extent of the frame damage is. Turns out the frame collapsed in onto itself. Even though it was a front on collision the frame flattened down like it got dropped from a five feet drop.

Plan to remove the cab and everything and replace everything. And cannibalize the old frame to enforce the new one. And also put some tasty mods on. Including a custom side pipe exhaust including a jpipe and resenator to make it sound real nice. Custom center console removing the sixth seat. And putting in an efi live tuner atop that. Doing this to log/remind myself to not give up i geuss.

also should notate that this wasnt her first wreck either. we found junk yard marks on her and it seems this isnt the first front end collision. thats probably why the frame gave way so easily. and also said wreck never went through with insurance and i was never informed their for it was completely blind sided to me. dont doubt it though since she's from cali and im not the previus owner and well treat it better and give it all the love i can of course.

Today my buddy got me a donor frame for my truck. Since the original one collapsed in on itself and is unusable we had to get a new one. I dont have pictures yet since ima be honest i dont like taking them unless i have too or feel like it.

But im going to sand down the frame and paint it so it will last for ages.

i just noticed its been longer than a month since i made this. and the most we have done to the damn thing is just take the extra's off the new frame. nothing on the truck. its been five months and i feel like shit because nothing at all has been done in those five months. it makes me fucking rage that the guy who said he would help me isnt doing shit and still has the gull to ask for money to help with his truck's repairs its shitty.

#

||part of me wishes i had friends that could help me but know its either waiting longer for this and get into a deep legal battle. the horrible disadvantages of being lonely i suppose lol||

nothing new has happened and it don't feel like its getting any better. since we just finished fixing all of his shit theirs no real excuse anymore to not work on my stuff. when the weather clears up im going to sand the frame but intel then im just now starting to take everything apart and it feels really shitty. ive now waited almost six months to just start working on this thing and only now am i doing so. and so much work ahead to its feels hopeless and worthless. like i fought a whole ass battle to get here to even start working on the damn thing and its like i now have to fix a besieged city with nothing left. mice got into the truck and now mutiple wires have been fucked with also grounds have popped off due to it sitting their for so long. meaning when i went to start it didnt crank since the batteries died. moss is growing on the plastic bed liner that ive been wanting to remove since i got the thing but have never been able to.

all because the man cant say no to something. i kept the damn thing after i crashed it since i love it and everyone around me said oh its fine its an easy fix it will no problem at all. and now they have done a complete 180 blaming me for crashing it and that im just making things more complicated and i should have never kept it after wrecking it since it would already been a total loss. ik this is a thread place for project vehicles and this isnt place to vent but its the only place ive been keeping track of everything. i wish i had the place and tools to work on it myself put their are perks and offsides to living in a trailer park i suppose.
