So far only minor paint chips and scratches, no dents........I got to where I could open the drivers side door and squeeze in. From looking inside, the cab roof looks okay. I couldn't stand it so I stuck the key in the ingnition and the truck started right up. Of course I only let it run for a second or two.
The structure's roof wasn't very high above the truck's cab so it didn't have very far to fall. From the looks of it, I think the roof came down slowly as the rafters bowed, I don't think there was a bad impact. I would take pictures but my son borrowed the camera for a college project.
I will keep you all posted on the trucks condition as I proceed.... | | | | | Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 1,262 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 1,262 | That is good news.

Hope it all turns out well for you. Is there anything else resting anywhere on the body besides the cab??

Yes, Ac, there is stuff on the bed as well. I haven't removed any material from the back end of the truck yet. I can't even see the truck much past the drivers side door. All the glass looks to be untouched, the drivers side mirror and bracket is intact but pushed inward towards the door. I believe this pivots anyway. There is a good sized paint chip on the drip rail above the drivers side door. The hood is virtually untouched, I cannot even find a scratch. I'm taking my time removing material, one board at a time so as not to cause anymore damage. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 |

Good Luck

I'm not sure how to coordinate this yet. As summer approaches we need to talk and plan this out. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 231 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 231 | I'm glad yer truck was ok.
