Well the cladding and part of the quarters anyhow. At 75 Miles an hour on the freeway in traffic..
Made it home with Passenger side holding on by ONE small screw. The driver side ripped off with ease. At least that was in the driveway.. lol

At least it didn't come completely off as you went down the road.

Avalanches have all but disappeared up here in the rust belt. Occasionally they pop up on the buy here/pay here lots with horrendous body work.

I am glad the parts did not fly off and hurt anybody. It did keep any tail gators away they gave me a wide berth with the side of the truck flapping in the breeze.
Sadly the rusty but trusty truck only has about 130,000 miles on it. Hope to get a few more miles out of it before it completely self destructs
