a little over a year ago i was driving down the road in my 1977 k30 crew cab when a moron backed out of his drive way in front of me, this was in a 45 zone mind you. i swerved to miss him but my right front wheel got him in the right rear quarter and almost tore my front axle out from under it. my truck was in pretty good shape before that-decent paint and interior, but no carpet. when the ins. co came to look at it i handed the adjuster a copy of the nada price guide and he valued it near the top of the mark. when everything was settled, i walked away with a check for $10k worth of damage and had a truck with a clean title. for the record, that was from his ins co. i have no special insurance on it.
