Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 5,489 Posted October 30, 2020 Is that one of the aluminum bodied Fords...? 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blackwater 53393 5,424 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! 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 5,489 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… 1 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sixgun Sheridan 4,132 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. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Texas Joker 171 Posted October 30, 2020 8 hours ago, Subdeacon Joe said: That's my guess on how it happened. Looks like it tire wrapped. 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. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sidekick 118 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie Harley, #14153 2,758 Posted October 30, 2020 Musta sounded like a screaming banshee while the hook was tearing its way through the body. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doc X 387 Posted October 30, 2020 Give it some time. When the rust starts you'll know it's not a newer Ford. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that's a steel body panel then it's got to be the thinnest, softest garbage-grade steel around. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 70's vintage Toyotas & Datsuns had very thin panels. Of course the truck in the picture isn't one of those. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
