I talked with the orginal insurance adjuster that was hired by the old ladies insurance company. He said that it wasn't worth but $3600 and ask me if I picked it up. He has been calling the wrecking yard trying to buy it for $1200 ( the salvage value)!

I called other independent appraisal services. They have a book called the "Black Book" from CPI (Cars of Particular Interest) They showed $3300 for fair, $6800 for good, and $13000 for excellent condition. He was shocked because 73 - 78 trucks where worth about $2800 in good condition.

My truck fits in between good and excelllent. By no means is it a trailer queen but it isn't a POS either!

Off to the lawyers I go. I'm going to bleed them!
