I stopped in to see if there had been any progress on my truck... The owner said there was an accident...

Andy4639 · 04-10-2015, 04:15 PM

I agree it looks like they worked on it all right! Lol... I'm assuming this to be a Joke. If not.... I don't know what I would do.
I guess once I got out of jail I would find another shop though!

**mikey531** · 04-10-2015, 04:28 PM

This is no joke the building it was in collapsed from the snow. His insurance company is looking for a replacement cab now.

Oh man, that sucks big time! I guess in that situation you can't be to mad at the shop owner either! Well at least they are doing the right thing and going to find you one.
I guess you want have to worry about jail time then.
Sorry man that has to just suck!

**FirstOwner69** · 04-10-2015, 04:50 PM

That does suck!

Here's one on the Phoenix Craigslist (not mine). Poor pics, but says "surface rust only".Think the insurance company would pay shipping?

You know that's tweaked PG? But, I have to consider I have been warned LOL.

I thought I understood what I think you said, but I'm not sure I realize that what I heard is not what you meant.

68_Step · 04-10-2015, 04:49 PM

Ouch, that hurts to look at it... Hope the insurance company follows through - good luck!

briank · 04-10-2015, 04:55 PM

Was he gonna call you or just try to cover it by getting another cab? What are his plans now for the vin??

Don't mean to highjack the conversation, but I'd like to think that in a legit instance such as this that a new title/ID plate could be issued by the DMV or Rosette rivets could be legally obtained for this situation, especially a legit body shop. I'm thinking the shop probably has this covered.

I made the silly mistake of removing my ID plate in 1986 for a paint job, fortunately the man painting it was a manager of a big body shop and he was able to get the right rivets to put it back on. After he read me the riot act.

Ooouch that hurts looking at it. It looks like the floor was done already.

The cab was done and primered he had moved into that garage to start putting it together the bed and chassis are in containers. Briank, I kind of wondered that too.

What a major set back for you... I hate that happened. I hope his ins company pulls through.

**jeffahart** · 04-10-2015, 10:26 PM

All I can say is "THAT CAB WAS LIKE BRAND NEW, only driven to church on Sundays! Now gim me my new cab!"

COBob'70 K-10 · 04-10-2015, 05:33 PM

My gosh, that sucks way worse than my mishap! I hope you are as fortunate getting yours fixed!

Tinkermc · 04-10-2015, 06:07 PM

good luck man

**slomotion** · 04-10-2015, 06:13 PM

Sounds like he's trying. Will he let you inspect the replacement before he commits to it?

xRAY76 · 04-10-2015, 10:38 PM

another BBW gone...

SCHRUMGMC · 04-10-2015, 11:59 PM

Holy **** man, I hate to see that.. Hope everything works itself out

elf w/capital T · 04-11-2015, 12:00 AM

Holy heck batman. Thats sooo not cool. I hope they reemburse you

**ho70** · 04-11-2015, 02:21 AM

think I'd be more mad he didn't tell me right away and tried to sneak a new cab in......hope it all works out

hamjet · 04-11-2015, 07:08 AM

Ya can't blame the guy, as long as he replaces it. Mother Nature was very bad last winter and I'm sure he's not too happy either. good luck on getting things straightened out... ( that wasn't a pun)

**special-K** · 04-11-2015, 07:14 AM

A call to you should have been made on the day the damage was discovered...WTH? There are no two ways about that!

72 tigger · 04-11-2015, 01:07 PM

I hope they let you inspect the replacement cab. The insurance companies idea of a nice cab may not be the same as yours. Sorry that happened
