I told them no thanks and called my insurance company and told them what happened and they said they would pay for the damage and would work it out with the other insurance company. The other insurance was not happy about it and did not want me to get my insurance involved but that is why I pay them for full coverage on my truck. My insurance sent out a adjuster and wrote me a check for the damages right there. I never heard from the other insurance again and not sure what happened between them and my insurance. I guess the bottom line is that if you have full coverage on your truck you should let your insurance deal with the other company, it was not your fault and you should not have to deal with it.

I'm with you on this. I have full coverage on my 71 K20. Its a decent truck, but definatly not even close to restored. My friends don't understand why I don't run with the minimums or just liability...This thread is why.
