He said $75 shipped. If you consider shipping at $15 and the time to remove it and package it and take it to be shipped, I think thats reasonable. just my opinion.
You can still use the slave cables to jump other vehicles.
The issue is, If you need to jump a cucv that has had it's GPs resupplied with 12v, and the front battery is stone dead, you might have trouble getting it started(unless you charge the front battery well).
You can do the conversion...
This has been said many many times.
The stock GP sytem is supplied with 24v but, the combination of the resistors on the firewall and the resistance of 8 good glow plugs, in combination, drops the 24 volts supplied, to 12 volts(the voltage range of the glow plugs). If just one glow plug has a...
Well, it looks like the alternator hit the master cylinder, probably knocking the retaining clip off, allowing the cap to go missing(after the impact). I see BFS in both reservoirs still.
Did you have a passenger? Thats a lot of damage to the dash on the passenger side.
Maybe a simple belt...
2 loads of logs, second from last log, a 24"x10' oak log tipped of the forks(I had just greased the bar they slide on), and the momentum of turning and stopping allowed the forks to slide and the log to slide/tip off. It hit butt end down and tipped into the window with the other end.

I don't see anyone "rough handling" him. (perhaps it's your mindset).
I also think it's...
Number 11 and 20 are two of the springs. The third is on the arm, and goes to the frame(cable adjustment area).
If your parking brake is missing any of these, they have a habit of doing what you described,the geometry of the brake mechanism allows it to lock up in reverse(with a missing spring...
I have no interest in debating vehicle safety but, I think you would be surprised with the safety statistics of newer trucks.
I am glad to hear you're alright and your pictures are definitely interesting to see.
I've never seen a mastercyl cap (metal with wire clip) come off from an impact.
When was the last time you opened the hood?
And, how fast were you going?
Wow, glad your doing that well!
Any idea why the front brakes didn't work? Maybe the steering was nonfunctioning as well because you lost a belt on the powersteering pump(also runs the brake boost)
That pipe against your seat-back looks like it could have been much worse for you.
How fast...
