The objective of these tests was to provide baseline data for unmodified pickup trucks and vans when involved in 60 degree left side vehicle-to-vehicle impact crashes. For these tests, the target vehicle was stationary and set at 60 degree to the line of travel of the bullet vehicle. The target vehicle was struck one inch rearward of the left DOR. The bullet vehicles for all three tests were 1978 Chevrolet Impala 4-Door Sedans. The target vehicles were as follows: 1978 Chevrolet C-10 Pickup, 1978 Ford Courier Pickup, and 1978 Ford E-150 Econoline Van.
