i was driving, stopped at a stoplight saturday night. sat there for about 20 seconds when a drunk guiy in explorer nails me in ass at 50mph. then he left. he got locked up. no insurance etc. im screwed. freames bent, cabs bent in. $6000 + to fix it and its only booked at 3500. should i buy i tback and take to frame shop? i have pics ill put up tommorow morning.
dang it man!!! that sucks, sorry to hear this!
thats rough anyways, but especially when its someone like that that does it to you...
talk to the insurance company and see what you can take off before they claim it and then move on. After a hit like that you'll never be happy with it after repaired. At least you didn't have LSx/posi/FLT trans/converter and all that.
sorry to hear. They should be able to cut you a check for the value. Post pic although if the frame and cab are bent I doubt it will be worth it to fix. One thing that sux about insurance on older trucks like our is they doink you on the value. IMO full coverage is almost not worth it. Think about it, if some one backs into your door thats it, unless you fix yourself. Most shops charge $2k if the word paint is used.Quote:

wow...hope you were able to see him coming and brace yourself for the hit...
That sucks dude. Thats a pretty truck. Glad your alright.
That blows man wish you the best for sure pull the wheels off.
Man that really sucks. Sorry to hear
Evidently your not suppose to brace for a crash from what I heard. That's why drunk drivers survive more crashes then the people they run into.Quote:

The insurance will pay you the value of the truck less your collision deductible.

frame is bent a little and cab corners by back glass are creasedand bent in. guess im going to have to build another S10 with a 5.3 or 383 again.
I may have got pounded by a big azz injun but i'm back, better than ever!!Quote:

That sucks dude. It doesn't look to bad from the pics but i'm sure if you really dig into it, the damage will add up quick. My little fender bender was alot worse than it looked.
