      Looks like the axle flange failed. I see what looks like brake shoes. Cool photos!

        I never thought a Christmas tree would do that much damage....

        It looks like he hit an "oak" tree....

            Gotta give that photographer credit for staying with the truck. I'm not sure I've seen that much destruction in less than '60ft from a truck.

                  Ouch. I don't see the starter. Must be off cleaning his shorts.

                    I think you meant to say he is changing his shorts while consulting his cardiologist.
                    Hauling ass & sucking gas are the best uses for a truck.

                      Man talk about getting a jump on the light :o........but still a sweet truck I had Dodge D-100 /6 that same color had bought a 400 to build a 451 stroker motor for it.......but thanks to all my old Mopar stuff & a nagging wife....all that became a downpayment on the house I built/live in now. That is also why I became a Chevy guy around here it falls out of trees and I can afford it.
                      That steely eyed look I had behind the wheel was me trying see..........

                          Looks like a wheel stud failure since there is no hub inside that wheel and the drake drum is awol.

                              Ouch - big bucks hit the dirt on that pass. Glad for two things - 1) that he's OK and nobody got hurt, better to happen there than in the traps and 2) that I wasn't in the staging lanes behind him ;D
