Re: Honey, the just tree fell on your new truck...
Oh man, what a shame. Neither your homeowners or auto ins comps will lift a finger to help ya out on this?
No vehicle clause huh? So what if that tree had fallen on some family passing by? Similar deal happened to my grandmother. Her water heater was located in the attick and ruptured wile she was away. Ruined the ceiling and floors in the home. The insurance agent said "i'm sorry but your homeowners policy doesn't cover such an event". After paying premiums for a lot of years with not one claim there was no help whatsoever. They carried the policy on all her properties, vehicles, etc. and my dad's and mine. We fired them! It was State Farm. I am truly sorry to hear of your situation and see that even though you are fairly new here there are numerous members willing to step up and help you get it fixed. I wish you good luck from here on out.

Re: Honey, the just tree fell on your new truck...
here's a few more pics of the aftermath. it really couldve been much worse. with the exception of the limb that hit the roof, and one that dented the left front corner of the hood, some of the other limbs came with inches and didnt leave a scratch. it looked kinda like a grotesque claw around the truck.
so I consider myself lucky because the doors seem to be fine. the passenger door is tight and I think its because the bottom of the windshield piller is puckered out and causing some pressure. I've contacted 3 shops so far and sent pics but nobodys come out to look at it yet. homeowners/auto insurance is still a big ZERO. my screwup was not getting the appraisal and adding the comp/collision as soon as I bought it. a lesson learned.

Re: Honey, the just tree fell on your new truck...
Ouch! Tough to look at without becoming emotional! I guess it's time to cut all tree's within a ten mile radius of any 67-72 chevy truck

Re: Honey, the just tree fell on your new truck...
Those pics really show how tough these trucks are. The one of the roof is amazing, popped the glass out, did it hit the dash?
Is your insurance not covering becuase you only have liabitity, or because they dont have an appraisal. I smashed up my truck years ago without an appraisal, but I did have full coverage, and they fixed my truck with no questions. Maybe I just got lucky. Darren

Re: Honey, the just tree fell on your new truck...
Sorry about your loss. I live in Reno and it's not that far away from you. I just bought a '70 c20, but I had a very limited budget, under $1000, and found about 10 67-72's in that price range here. I ended up picking mine up in susanville CA and on the way to it spotted about 3 more along the road. They are all over out here, and most of the "local" trucks have very little rust. I found mine in the local deals & wheels catalog, at that time there were 5 others under $1500, most were in "decent" shape.

Re: Honey, the just tree fell on your new truck...
Hey Gary. From what I can tell by the pics I think a cab replacement may be the better fix. The cab may be bent in the floor and cab mount areas and windshield A pillar. Door alignment depends on a square cab. Nothing that can't be fixed. Just takes money.
Maybe you can rent a portapower to push that roof back up into close proximity enough to tape around the openings to help keep the water out. A bit of visqueen and tape should keep the weather out. ![]()

So sorry for the bad luck. Remember it's just metal, filler and paint and some labor. Hope you back in shape soon.

Re: Honey, the just tree fell on your new truck...
Just out of curioisity - what was the "exclusion" on the home owner's policy? Was it because YOU owned the vehicle? I would get out my policy and start reading through it. The shoulod have the exclusion for vehicles if they "burn in the garage" or somthing like that. This should be covered! I'm an auto damage appraiser for a division of Liberty Mutual. We just paid a claim like this - the only differance was that the vehicle the tree fell on was not owned by the same person who owned the property from which the tree fell.
Anyway. My suggestion would be to find another rust free cab. Even though it looks like it could be fixed, I have a feeling that it pulled the "A Pillars" in towards the center of the truck - which will give you great grief in door/fender/windshield alignment. I think swapping the cab would be the cheapest way to do it as well.
