Wallaby Jack, SASS #44062 Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 maybe it's my imagination, ........ but them straps don't look THAT strong .............. think it'll buff out ?
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 Is that one of the aluminum bodied Fords...?

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 Airplane mechanic and a pop-rivet gun and it'll be just like new.
Blackwater 53393 Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 I used one of those straps to lift a complete small block Chevrolet engine and automatic transmission!! They’re stronger than you think!
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 Yeah…. If you look carefully just to the left of the shaded area you can barely make out “Coors” behind the paint…
Sixgun Sheridan Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 I agree... that would have to be one of the new Fords made out of recycled Coke cans. No way a steel panel would slice open like that without so much as bending that hook.

My son complained years ago the the s10 was hopping sometimes. Rode with him and never experienced it til one day I was helping him plug a tire and saw a bald strip about a strap wide and a frayed strap end hanging out from under the tailgate. Had an AHA moment then.
Sidekick Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 I don't think that is a newer Ford with the aluminum body. It looks like an older F250 to me.
Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 Musta sounded like a screaming banshee while the hook was tearing its way through the body.
BLACKFOOT SASS #11947 Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 "MiliTary Grade" Coors can! Blackfoot
Doc X Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 Give it some time. When the rust starts you'll know it's not a newer Ford.
South-Eye Ned Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 Wait! Don’t total the truck! Some people save their aluminum foil.

The 70's vintage Toyotas & Datsuns had very thin panels. Of course the truck in the picture isn't one of those.
