It bent the drive shaft, and pretty much ripped off the exhaust from the catalytic converter back.

A local truck repair facility replaced the drive shaft, but it's been a month now, and they keep saying they can't find out how soon the exhaust will be in.
I really think its a case of out-of-sight, out-of-mind.

I'd like to check around myself and see if I can find one available, but I can't seem to find the exact Ford chassis number that it is.

It says it's a F-Series super Duty, but wouldn't that be considered an F-450 or F-550? I've checked the manuals and the spec plate, but no luck.

Anybody happen to know which it is offhand?

Thanks,

Eric
I had a car side swipe me on a two lane road. The car grabbed the tail pipe and bend it back, The tail pipe bent the rear part drive shaft and damaged the center drive shaft bearing. Iron Horse RV fabricated a new 5" stainless steel cat back exhaust pipe with a nice 6 inch chrome tip. I now have a V-10 with a growl.
