Looks familiar to the ZR2 that kinked behind the cab. Also towing a trailer. In this case the truck was probably over loaded. Those race car trailers have a habit of getting really heavy. Add a 3000lb camper with slides and you now own a Ford banana

There’s video of it still driving down the road.
I guess if you’re going to bend your frame, might as well be while overloaded with all kinds of toys.

Is this the same truck?

Did he paint the bottom 1/4 of the truck and just keep driving it??? Looks like the same camper and trailer. But the 1st truck wasn't two toned.
Or did the guy break the first one, buy another and break the new one the exact same way??

Bottom picture has 2 chains tieing the camper to the truck. 1st picture only has 1 chain.

I think the first truck has two chains if you look close . But I think they are different vehicles . so the camper is probable tail heavy too ,they tend to put the bathroom and holding tanks in the overhang part . also make note of the long tong extension required because of the camper overhang . probably if it was a gas motor it would just have lifted the front wheels of the ground . Now I understand why they put the hanger bearing and universal joint in about that spot ,good thinking on there part .

Changed the wheels too, top one has Alcoa lookalikes and the bottom one has steelies.
Top one is a 10 lug truck, I can't quite make out the bottom one.

This was bantied about a bit over on Garage Journal. Story goes is this same guy had it happen to 2 different vehicles, F350 (2 tone ), then a F450 (white one). There's a video on Facebook of him still driving it (450) after it happened https://www.facebook.com/leona.pelke...7795712404669/
There was talk of the tongue wait being upwards of 2,000lbs with a home brew hitch extension, and also the frame having been cut and patched
