This truck was very rust, thats the reason we ran it, iam surprised no one noticed the bed, its a bed off a 69-72 chevy we bolted on it.

I really can't imagine how anybody could get so worked up about it. These things are a dime a dozen! Need a door? There are about fifteen of these things at my local junkyard!

Wow, those are great reference shots. To recreate such damage you'd have to form (and deform) the panels made out of aluminum foil or very thin metal . . . that would be very cool to replicate.

LONG LIVE RUST.

Hey Chuck: It would be hard to find any Ford pickups of this vintage for demo derby use because they all rusted away to nothing back in the 1990's! And if you did happen to come across one of 'em, it would fold right up anyhow, as badly weakened as it would be by now... That is, if the engine would hold out long enough for it to make it onto the grid! This bad boy ran off the field under it's own power and it's engine is gonna be reused. You say the Chevy is "ON the field, motionless", but that Ford would have halfway dissolved INTO the field by now! :D

You put the engine in another Chevy truck, enough said! I like all trucks, but the G.M. trucks are my favorite. The only BIG thing I got against the Fords is that crummy "Twin-I-Beam" front axle. They won't stay in alignment and few people are willing to work on them!

The best thing to happen to anything wearing the Bowtie emblem, that's all they're good for demo vehicles smash the heck out of them to make 'em drive right.
