mans that is awfull, good thing is that no body was in it , or somebody wasnt walking by when it fell. and from the pics i see. id look for a donor cab, it would be a ton easier than to try and fix that one . and alot less headaches....you could just chop it roadster style for the rest of the summer. and by the way that a pillar looks who knows where all that energy went through out the rest of that cab

Longhorn Man · 08-15-2007, 06:17 PM

I was about to say something about that... the underneath of the cab probably took a beating from the sudden weight. I'd just look for a cab... and maybe chop the roof off for now so you could drive it a little bit till the donor cab is ready.

Was it as rust free as it looks?

ChaseDale3and8 · 08-15-2007, 06:31 PM

I'd also be VERY careful how I cut that tree. By the way it looks to have fallen if you cut it the wrong way you could end up with even more of it on the bed or front clip.

As big and heavy as that thing is it wouldn't take much to create a lot more damage. Most importantly you don't want that big ol' tree on top of you! It would squash you like a bug! Where is a crane when you really need one? ...Joe

jsbgump · 08-15-2007, 06:23 PM

Thats sucks man. I hate to see that happen to someone. Hopefully you can just put another cab on and be back on the road

retodd7711 · 08-15-2007, 06:33 PM

Total buzz-kill. Your wife said "your new truck" How long have you had it?
Please don't say you just bought it last week.
Bummer

That's a real bummer! When a tree fell on Putters truck recently his homeowners wouldn't pay. They told him if it had belonged to someone else they would have paid.

indyracer · 08-15-2007, 06:48 PM

I am sure that will buff right out...

Seriously, that really sucks

Pop's72 · 08-15-2007, 06:48 PM

Geez that just royally sucks... good luck with the repairs/insurance.

garypr1 · 08-15-2007, 09:06 PM

july 6th. more than a week

*ksjh1316* · 08-15-2007, 09:10 PM

Now I feel real sick thought you may have been ok with the home owners man good luck getting her back together.

1LoC10 · 08-15-2007, 07:02 PM

oh man that sucks.....im so sorry

timcos · 08-15-2007, 07:21 PM

I am tossing my cookies right now.

My heart goes out to you...I can see that that truck had some serious TLC.

krue · 08-15-2007, 11:18 PM

That really blows, insurance company's suck!

*72CSTC5* · 08-15-2007, 11:32 PM

Oh, I seriously got a sick feeling in my stomach when I just saw that. Dude, I do not even know what to tell you. Kind of like losing a loved one if you ask me. Truck is TOO nice, please don't skimp on the repair. If the lower half of the cab is nice, just put a roof on it from a skilled shop, it the bottom is bad go with the full swap.

RicksTrucks · 08-15-2007, 11:44 PM

If I was closer I would give you a roof.

corn · 08-15-2007, 11:50 PM

Im in shock & dont really know what to say. That is sad & Im sorry that kind of thing had to happen, especially to a truck that nice!

72BlckButy · 08-17-2007, 03:48 PM

Sorry to hear about your truck. I'll bet that if you asked, you would have a 100 board members at your front door in the morning, ready to rip that old cab off and get the truck back rolling. Insurance companies are there to just take your money, and then cover nothing in the time of need.

*alschevy* · 08-18-2007, 07:21 PM

man that sucks if that happent to my truck i would be very very piss off

grayw0lf · 08-18-2007, 11:06 PM

When you said "new truck," I thought you meant a newer (late model) truck.... no big loss.

But that sucks. I hate if for you.....

FELON'S · 08-18-2007, 11:46 PM

So it's been a couple of days now...How about some updated pics....

I'd take a good look at it if you want to to sell.....

67CHIP72 · 08-19-2007, 12:35 AM

Still not as bad as stolen I guess... I hope your able to work thigs out soon.

CrashEd · 08-19-2007, 02:02 AM

I would still be setting on the curb by the truck crying my eyes out who says grown men never cry.

......You mean Ferd right?!?!?!?

That would make a grown man that never shows emotions cry in Public!
As the germans say: Absolut Scheisse!
Hope you can get it repaired. Good Luck!
German insurance companies are just the same. They are always nice and friendly as long as you keep paying. They make a 180° turn as soon as you want to claim something.
