The aftermath of a windstorm we had a few weekends ago... we have a lot of 30-40ft cottonwoods in our lower property.

haha, nope not insured.. barely run, were tryin to sell it anyway. And could only get 1 axle out of that.. the front was actually leaf-sprung TTB :confused:
we got rid of it for $75.
and unfortunately, I didn't get more pics after the tree extraction... that took literally all day. I'd say each 2-3ft of that tree weight atleast 250lbs.
Needless to say, we had to pull most of it off the truck, which ended up destroying the ONE good door it still had :D

i would call alaska snow country too..lol we dont have a rust prob up here..my '91 f-250 has ZERO rust on it. from what i gather they dont use salt here. they like to use a chemical that is non-corrosive.
when was the wind storm? must not have hit us here in town? i live on the hillside an i dont rember anything..lol
sorry bout the truck.
