I'm really sorry about your truck. I hope you catch the guy who cut you off. Did you get is LIC number or any other ID on his vehicle. I hope your truck was insured for that kind of loss.

Iron-Butt · 03-15-2004, 08:44 PM

Hi, Fellow board members. No Insurance. I had liability. No I did not get the license plate. One of the witnesses did not get it either. The vehicle was traveling really fast when he went by me and cut me off. I think it was a honda prelude. The witness said it had a flipper on the back. I am going to build another truck or one in your year range. It just that I have collected alot of 63 parts.

butter · 03-15-2004, 08:57 PM

Glad you are ok.

*Randy70C-10* · 03-15-2004, 10:49 PM

Glad you're ok, I sure wish the idiot that cut you off had got caught. I don't think I could contain myself if I met up with someone that has so little regard for your safety and well being.

project1971 · 03-16-2004, 12:06 AM

man glad your ok! we sure have a good bunch of guys here willing to help!!!

weasel29gm · 03-16-2004, 12:08 AM

Wow !!! glad your OK, that was a pretty good lick. Think if it was a newer truck could be alot worse. Tx Firefighter that is a good gesture and shows the kind of folks that are on this board. Good luck.

casey · 03-16-2004, 12:12 AM

boy your not kidding DOAH, man that thing is mangled, glad your alright, it must of been a wild ride

70c10 · 03-16-2004, 12:15 AM

Glad your ok. Does your state have an uninsured motorist fund that covers this?. This happened to me in 96'. I had to file a claim under the "phantom driver" clause to get paid. My brother in law is an attorney who helped me with this. Good luck man.

**N2TRUX** · 03-16-2004, 01:53 AM

Dang David I just read this. I "heard" the report on the news , but was getting dressed and wasn't looking at the TV. I just assumed the "officer" was in a patrol car when I heard it. I didn't know it was you in your truck.

Broken_down? · 03-16-2004, 02:29 AM

dam that sucks man!

what a$$holes there are out there. Man if you would been in a newer 90's vechile... not sure if you would be posting this post. Thank god for the old great built trucks!!

Stay safe man!

Rich

Effle18 · 03-16-2004, 10:16 AM

Did you have lap belts in your truck or something else? Also its a real good thing you weren't on the Road King that night.

*racedvl* · 03-16-2004, 10:23 AM

That is a total shame. I saw a pic of your truck the other night and was thinking how nice it was. Glad you made it with minor bumps and bruses, the truck can always be replaced.

bigjimzlll · 03-16-2004, 11:08 AM

MAn..sorry for your loss...atleast your OK.. on the other hand..if you would of been driving a ricer...Im sure we would not be having this discussion...or any discussion

dubie · 03-16-2004, 11:30 AM

I think if you go with a 67-72, some of us could help you out and donate parts. The board members got together once before and bought Longhorn Man (ANdy) the longhorn he has right now. ANd it was all from board member donations. I'm sure we could take up a collection to get you back on the road. What do you think guys?

I'm for it. Tx Firefighter already offered this "I'll give you a complete short bed rolling chassis" or "a neat little 64 Suburban I can't help much on parts, but I would throw some $$ in the hat....

dubie · 03-16-2004, 12:43 PM

I have a bunch of parts I can donate as well. Nothing in the ways of sheet metal but I have a bunch of odds and ends parts.

71402BB · 03-16-2004, 01:03 PM

WOW, thats rough! I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I'm glad to see you came out of it "ok". looks like there might be a few parts left on that truck that you could reuse. I wish you the best of luck on another project. Man I don't know what I would do if I "lost" my blue 71 step......

Primed67 · 03-16-2004, 01:16 PM

Glad to hear that you are ok. Sorry about your truck. Hopefully someone will catch up with that guy.

Iron-Butt · 03-16-2004, 02:08 PM

Thanks for the offers. I am going to look at a 65 lwb that was just painted. This truck is owned by the wrecker company owner that towed the truck out to the shop. I am going to try and build or buy a completed truck so I have a truck to drive.

Iron-Butt · 03-16-2004, 02:16 PM

I like this board because of all the great people on here and information that is gained from all of you. Because when ever I had a problen I always found someone on here to help me fix or correct it. I am glad that I am FINE.

**nightmare** · 03-16-2004, 02:44 PM

sorry to hear about this. i've been out of town, so this is the first time i'm hearing about it. if you need anything, let us know. i'm sure we can scrounge around for something. i know you'll be on the road again, but it's good to see that you weren't seriously hurt.

mikej71 · 03-16-2004, 04:11 PM

David, I also heard about this, but didn't see the truck. Glad you're ok. So, you're an HPD officer? Where do you work out of?
I'm at various HPD facilities all the time.

Mike

72shadetree · 03-16-2004, 04:34 PM

sorry to hear that glad youre ok good luck on another one

SWINGSAX68 · 03-16-2004, 04:53 PM

wow im glad your ok, my girlfreind got cut off the other day and she almost rammed into a girl in like a little honda. She was being tailgated by the chick so she just kept going at her conservative speed, the chic got pissed and gunned it around her and trafic was a little much and she ended up not even getting in the lane all the way, her rear was blocking the right lane. Needless to say my girlfreind almost annihilated her and her car. Why are people so impatient. This makes me think about how I dirve sometimes.....I'm sure we all get a little impatient, or just want to gun it just for fun, but lets all be careful and courteous to fellow motorist, I know I'll do my part, lets just hope every one else will too. Sorry for the loss gald your ok

*dtlilly* · 03-16-2004, 05:09 PM
