Re: Its Gone!!! hit by a DUI
Well I hate to hear it Jeff but I understand. It may be easier for you to collect what money you can and start over on something else. Got anything in mind?

Re: Its Gone!!! hit by a DUI
I would love to do a 3/4 ton Long Horn. But I will keep the wife happy and put that on the back burner for awhile to all settles.

And on stuff that actually gets driven/towed, all the insurance company has to do is deny liability on the part of their client, and then guess what happens...yep, you are forced to sue out of your own pocket. Happened to me, happened to a good buddy of mine also...insurance is a RACKET.

Re: Its Gone!!! hit by a DUI
.....that really blows....its too bad he wasn't driving what I hit last winter...I had an old (and I mean OLD) lady pull out in front of my '68 C-10 last winter in her brand new Toyota Prius....I hit her at a little over 35mph...I ended up on the curb with a bent bumper, twisted grill, and completely raped right front fender (and trim).....I lost the sidemarker lens and the brace I had in that fender........her car had turned almost 180 degrees and the whole front end was ripped off and strewn down the street for about a block, the car was leaking fluids all over the place....but she got put onto a flatbed and I started my pickup and drove home...I didn't have seatbelts in the truck yet and if the car had been bigger and my steering wheel had been smaller I would've been somewhere down the street too...........but anyway...she had full coverage and was at fault so I got $2,030 out of the truck (which I kept) that I paid about $700 for...

Re: Its Gone!!! hit by a DUI
Is the burb still complete, and how much are you asking for it at the moment? I have an almost identical '72 (but 3/4 and barn doors). I'd be interested in buying it.
Thanks, Scott |

You might consider sending Jeff a pm as he may not be keeping tabs on this thread any longer.

Re: Its Gone!!! hit by a DUI
sorry, I have not been following the thread, trying to forget it. I have found a nice 72 C-20 long bed same color as the burd, has A/C tooo. it is at a Real Estate agency, I am waiting for the right time to ask(no money).
The guy has made 1 payment (in March) and has skipped town the Probation Officer said. so maybe(doubt it) on day things will go my way. Now just drooling thanks!!!! Jeff Smith Pensacola, FL |

Re: Its Gone!!! hit by a DUI
never did trust insurance companies like you said they prommise a lot and dont deliver , make sure those promises are in writing and sighned and if its worth it have the item insured validated yearly by a licenced validator
the only insurance i have is basic car insurance to pay for damage i make to the other party and a insurance for when i need a lawyer in a civil case to get my money if it isnt my fault , there are ways to have that done by youre insurance but there not trying real hard if sumting like this happens : friend of mine had someone drive intoo his brand new beamer , it turned out the guilty party responsible was insured by the same company he was , it made for some verry interesting wiggling from told insurancecompany to get from under the claim and a raise in the premium on the insurance of the NON guilty party , a non biased lawyer wouldve been verry helpfull in that

Re: Its Gone!!! hit by a DUI
get some company to collect that cash or have them sell his home/stuff/car/bike off (preferably the car and bike so he cant hit anything else while intoxicated ) untill he payed the bill , there a couple around that do that for a fee on a no cure no pay basis you have the court disicion so youre in youre right to do so , its allso possible to block his bankaccount if he's not doing as he's told , it only becomes problematic if he doesnt have an income

Re: Its Gone!!! hit by a DUI
if the town can't get it's rear in gear, talk to your congressman!
there are a lot of car friendly people in the political world. and SEMA is very involved in every state, too! just because these are old vehicles with low blue book value does not give insurance companies the right to screw you over. they are rare and collectible and that @$$ wrecked one of the cleanest examples around. do not give up, and don't junk your burb....it must have a lot of good parts on it, or maybe you could find a donor that is descent enough to make patch panels out of. much of the lower sheet metal is available aftermarket including burb tail light area patches. if this had happened to me, i'd be in everybody's face until my truck was good as new. this wasn't an accidental fender bender out on the road, this guy seriously messed up and he needs to pay. i think the next 10 years.....12 hours work plus 6 hours community service on top of that, seven days a week...yeah, that's a good start!!! oh...maybe restoring your truck could be a future feature on Trucks (Powerblock).....they are taking project ideas from the audience......enter online.....just an idea.....
