I wrecked my truck on thursday... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Jcentsr6 · 10-20-2007, 10:20 PM

...on the way to work. I know its not my old school (thank god) but I though I'd post here since you are my other family. I have a sore neck but other than that....im in great shape. It happened due to two other accidents in front of us...I was unable to avoid a work truck stopped in the highway and hit it hard. Crazy thing is I have not been driving this truck for over a month (just had a baby and let the wife drive for saftey (bigger vehicle) anyways...I could not find the keys to the wifes jetta...so I had to drive in the truck. (I would prob be major injured if I was driving the Jetta.

Anyways..Thought everyone would like to see the pics.

Would you like us to put the remaining pieces in the beds of our trucks?

green724x4 · 10-20-2007, 10:48 PM

Good to see your okey, how tall was the truck you hit? Because the hood is crinkled like a pop can.
I would say the truck is probably totaled because of the frame damage and the air bags deploying. Atleast it wasn't your 70 chevy pickup.

ChaseDale3and8 · 10-20-2007, 11:01 PM

Dang that looks like it hurt! Glad you're okay. Good thing for those airbags, and I'm not talking about the mother-in-law! ...Joe

Arad68 · 10-21-2007, 02:17 PM

Jay,
Congratulations on the new arrival!!!!!!

Glad you made it through!!!!

Too bad about your truck. It is a nice piece and a pretty penny.

67CHIP72 · 10-20-2007, 11:37 PM

Glad you're OK. Can't believe that fender. It looks like tin foil. Probably would have just chipped your grill on your oldie. Damn crumple zones! Oh well, your not hurt and that's what counts. Hope your insurance get's you guys a new BIG car soon for your wife and baby.

Brock · 10-21-2007, 12:13 AM

Glad your OK...Seatbelts are the way to go. I used to not wear mine that much but I rolled my racecar about a month ago and without those belts, I might have more than a bum knee!!

67_C-30 · 10-21-2007, 01:58 AM

MAN, you scared me! I thought you wrecked your '70. Just get the insurance company to fix the plastic-mobile and keep on trucking. The most important thing is that you're OK!

earl87gta · 10-21-2007, 03:37 AM

Glad to here your ok Looks like a good hit. To bad they wont total it. My 2004 got hit like that they just unbolted the front section of frame bolted a new one on and replaced every thing else. I couldnt belive the fixed it.

72armyswbtruck · 10-21-2007, 03:44 AM

Dope, that looks like it hurt. Glad that you were ok

Bishops Trucks · 10-21-2007, 04:01 AM

Glad your ok. That work truck did do a number on that one.

A.P. · 10-21-2007, 04:31 AM

Glad your O.K.

HtownPapiJc · 10-21-2007, 06:15 AM

Ouch!!!! Glad your ok....poor GMC

cdowns · 10-21-2007, 06:26 AM

those new trucks fold up like that by design they call them crumple zones

Jim_PA · 10-21-2007, 06:41 AM

How much for the 6.0 liter?

Glad you're OK -- That MIGHT buff out.

68C15 · 10-21-2007, 07:51 AM

thank God you couldn't find the Jetta keys.

that truck looks like a good rebuilder.

**special-K** · 10-21-2007, 08:14 AM

A new fender,smack the core support straight and you`re done!
Looks like you tryed to miss it...another 10 feet in front and???
They`ll fix that.I wonder how much it affectsthe 4 wheel steer?

retodd7711 · 10-21-2007, 09:18 AM

If you walked away from that you must be livin' right. Glad to hear you're o.k. Congrats on the little one!

krue · 10-21-2007, 09:48 AM

Time for a new engine in your 70.

19stepSide72 · 10-21-2007, 10:17 AM

not to change the story a little but I saw a head on accident just the other day and the jetta folded like a summer basking chair. The body was like jello no bones intact. Plz be careful in the jetta. Changed my mind on driving a small car ever again.

**Boog** · 10-21-2007, 10:26 AM

I hate to see any of our rigs get wrecked but I do appreciate how they build in crumple zones to save the occupants. That's what is important here.

caminokid · 10-21-2007, 10:25 AM

Glad your ok. I look at the right side there and wonder...what kind of metal the bumper core is made of? It broke off? They just dont bulid them like they used too.

bent · 10-21-2007, 11:45 AM

What is up with trucks getting into accidents this week just yesterday mom went somewhere and came back with a busted bumper headlight and dented front fender said a darker brown 80s f150 moved over on her.

Be glad you couldnt find the keys to the jetta that outta be a tell tell sign that some one is watching out for you glad to hear that you are ok and gl in getting a new truck. I am almost certain that ythe insureance company will toatle it out.
