It's just some good ol :mc_smiley: i know what fun is it if we can't have fun by the way i did not know you guys had a body shop :headbang: Edited April 22, 2006 by DUNE SMURF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 by the way i did not know you guys had a body shop :headbang: Yep, we sure do. We get some pretty messed up vehicles towed in to us like this from time to time. One time we got a 99 ish Tahoe that had been t-boned about 85 mph. The body was ripped off the frame in some spots, both occupants in the Tahoe and one in the other car had died. :mc_smiley: It was pretty nasty to look at. Knowing someone has died in an accident makes it pretty creapy to look at the aftermath. :mc_smiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing someone has died in an accident makes it pretty creapy to look at the aftermath. :mc_smiley: that sounds horrible, but seriously ive worked on alot of trucks {suspension lifts wise} and im here to tell you that while drilling holes for what ever reason, in a chevy frame...verses a ford frame, chevy frames are ten times softer!!! thats no BS, thats fact. KIND OF WEIRD, IF YOU ASK ME... :headbang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kens Colors Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 hmmmm :mc_smiley: Maybe there is a reason for this difference. Could be a purposeful design, just because you can drill a hole in it easier, does'nt make it weaker or less structurally sound. Could be part of energy absorbing crash saftey? Could be you used a new drill bit when you drilled on the chevys? Oh and 10 times softer. :headbang: Me thinks you exagerate :mc_smiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIND OF WEIRD, IF YOU ASK ME... :mc_smiley: Thats why Chevy frames will bend and tweak,as where a Ford frame just breaks apart. Just like mild steel and Chromoly. Id rather be in a chevy and have the thing bend up and absorb energy than a ford send all the energy to the occupants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
