About how?when i dinged? aka all the posts i made asking the same q, combined - Page 4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bad6772 · 11-05-2007, 01:44 PM

you just have to tear it down and figure it out...its not rocket science.....its easy..i have been doing frame and body work for close to ten years, there is no way to tell what is exactly wrong with your truck. untill its tore down.. and from pictures good luck.... TEAR IT DOWN

Longhorn Man · 11-05-2007, 02:31 PM

just like the other threads said.

mvfd70 · 11-05-2007, 02:40 PM

I think you're looking for an easy out. There's not gonna be an easy out. You are going to have to take the fender off and see what all is damaged, then replace the damaged pieces. Or, you have to take the truck to a body shop and pay them dearly to take the fender off and replace everything damaged.

Can't tell much from the pics here but looks like you may have damaged the hood, bumper, and core support. Depending on how hard the hit was, it may have shoved the fender back towards the cab and messed up you'r door some. Can't say for sure on that one. Just tear it down and see.

Don't be afraid to take a fender off. It's not that hard to do. A few bolts and a little patience is all it takes. You know you're going to have to at least replace the fender. You'r truck is a GMC so any fender from a 68-72 GMC or 68 chevy will work (67 fenders will fit but they don't have the marker light). The color won't match unless you paint it but at least you'll be able to drive it without a big dent. If you'r getting offers for free parts, take them.

Longhorn Man · 11-05-2007, 02:59 PM

caution. If you remove that fender... you probably won't be able to put it back on.
Don't disasemble it till you are ready to repair it or park it.

LONGHAIR · 11-05-2007, 03:06 PM

Please don't double post or triple post.......it creates a mess that no one can or will bother to follow. The only reason that I am not merging them now is that it will make a bigger mess out of a post that had several people trying to help and even offering parts.

Just because everyone got bored because the post ran into the ground... is not a reason to start a new one on the same subject. Just look at it, the last 3 posts in a row are yours, 3 days apart, with no response. It was asked and answered

Good point. I didn't think of that.

*Shane* · 11-05-2007, 06:21 PM

I'm betting he can't even get the fender off to begin with.

70' GMC · 11-05-2007, 09:10 PM

is it totalled?

mvfd70 · 11-05-2007, 09:23 PM

No it's not totaled. Well...maybe not. The question shouldn't be "Is it totaled?" The question should be "Is it fixable?" And from the damage I've seen, I'd say it is fixable. The thing is YOU just have to be willing to get off your butt and do some work on it. No one is going to caudle you and hold your hand. Don't be lazy about it, quit asking us "how much its gonna cost" and "what all is damaged" and stuff like that. Quit whining and go fix it.

It is nowhere near totalled. Even if you had to replace the whole front clip ( which is a job that can be done in an afternoon) it is worth fixing. Find a clip local to you, and replace it.

Longhorn Man · 11-05-2007, 10:32 PM

it sounds like you are scared sh!tless on this job.
Pay someone else to do it.
Just remember, you get someone that'll work for beer, you'll get a beer job out of it.

Hook a chain up to that post and throw it in reverse.If you go the exact speed it should pull right out.It`s paintless dent repair.

**N2TRUX** · 11-05-2007, 11:37 PM

70' GMC- Let me try to save you some grief. Try to understand that everyone on here is always willing to help someone out "if" they are willing to help themselves.

We understand that you wrecked your truck, and you don't know what to do. We also understand that your a kid in school, trying to work part time and keep your grades up.

The question is what are "you" going to do about it? You want help fixing your truck? I'll bet if you asked someone in your area might be willing to help you out. Show some effort to improve your situation, and I think you would surprised at the generosity of the people around you.

**special-K** · 11-06-2007, 07:46 AM

True dat!We`s a heppin`kinda crew rat cheer.

I figure we have two choices here. Either ridicule the boy till he is defeated and goes away, or show him the generosity that this forum has become known for.

bad6772....

bad6772 · 11-06-2007, 11:18 AM

lol ive already gotten three calls. none of which was from him , one was strange....it was a guy asking me if id like to go for a ride in a BURB?..... he said the back seat was real comfy...? and it can go all night????? kinda scared me a little...................lol

Agreed, that's why I didn't.....and I am usually pretty quick to do that. The old thread that was refered was 15 pages back when I looked. I figured that it was better left dead and try to get the guy some help, but try to keep him from doing it again at the same time.

I still get a chuckle from the "dinged" comment though.

You won't find a better deal than that! Super generous!

The ding should be upgraded to a small dent.
