The pics kinda tell the story, but here goes. I have laid it on its side 3 times, Jumped it a couple more. Side swiped trees. Moved boulders out of the way with the doors... And did some tree trimming with the windshield, on more than two occasions..lol.   The frame was cracked in about six places, and bent in three. Every body mount on the cab either went through the floor, or were completely pulled out. Everything else on the truck was ok, I am happy to say. And my motor now resides in my 72 Chevy. So, without further adiu, I present to you, the remains of Black Betty...... By the way, Alaska can be sorta rough on rigs in a different way than most states.

Thats about it until I find more pics. She was an awsome truck that NEVER broke down, not even once. Shoot, my 72 has broke down more times than I can count and I havent even wheeled it yet. Needles to say, I am very distraught by disassembling it, and I already miss her. But, Black Betty lives on. Her heart is nestled neatly between the rails of my 72. And as many times as I have had to fix something on it, not even one of them was that motor. SO here is to Black Betty II.
