Hit a deer broadside this weekend, I guess that's why they call it Ford Tough pics
yeah it is, all the pax made it out with no injuries
I hit a deer at 70 mph on I-84 going up to Monticello Ny with my 91 F250.
It just strolled out into the road and looked at me like, why are you on MY road?
Hit the brakes and locked up all 4 (at 70 mind you) and when I hit it, it got thrown maybe 50 feet and then I ran over it....
It bent the bumper on the passenger side, destroyed the passenger side headlight, and busted almost all of the grille attachements.
It also broke 3 exhaust pipe hangers underneath.
I bought all the pieces to fix it, but sold the truck before I got around to it.
I only ever replaced the passenger side headlight.
I was gonna take my T-Bird that weekend but decided at the last minute that I needed to run the truck some....good thing, if I'd been driving the 'Bird, we'd probably be dead.
I would have taken it out at the knees and the damn thing would have been in our laps.
So I have a chrome bumper, grille, filler panel and left side headlight for a 91 F250 XLT Lariat....anyone need parts?
The truck pic in the sig below is the deer killer......

Just an update guys:
I got a few emails about my honeycomb grille. If people really want it, it will be first to confirm sending me shipping money, since its damaged I don't think I'll charge anything else, whatever, my loss. Pat was the first one to ask me about it, so so far he is first.
Also, seems as if I can't find a factory tan grille thats not in S#$tty condition, so it looks like my best bet will be to buy a brand new black honeycomb and get back to the garage to paint it again.
Also, to people who want the grille, I got behind it and popped it into place and it looks decent. The Ford emblem has a broken peg, so its not really in there, and I would likely take it off to use on my new grille anyway being as new ones don't come with it. Some paint has chipped off from being broken. Just thought I'd be honest with people who want it. Anyway thats all, I'll let people know via PM or email once I get the new grille situation figured out.
