isnt that just luck . With all the ferds and dudges around its has to fall on a good truck, that blows

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.

For all the places for that tree to fall.. ]
NOTE TO SELF, dont park around ANY trees.
I wonder how many guys will second guess where they park now.

Good luck with the repairs

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.

57sailplane · 08-17-2007, 07:47 PM

that is oof.. man i would be heart broken if that happen to mine. i have read alot of post saying good thing no one was hurt and i am also glad of this. but i also think by looking at these pics what a testiment to the strenght of these cabs. man that looks like a lot of weight being held up by the one branch on top of the cab yeash.. i am so sorry to see your nice truck beat like that and hope you get it back up and runing..

kxnomore · 08-17-2007, 07:51 PM

I think there is a very good condition (near perfect) cab for sale in the Sacramento Craigslist for $500. It has no rust and has all the AC holes, etc. Here's a link.

Sorry about your horrible loss, by the way.

MisterE72 · 08-17-2007, 08:25 PM

Thats it. In soldarity and protest i'm not going to recycle a single sheet of paper for the rest of the year. It all goes in the garbage baby!! That'll teach those trees not to FU@@ with our trucks. With all those damn Fords out there.

*alschevy* · 08-18-2007, 07:21 PM

**72 Super** · 08-18-2007, 09:36 PM

man i'm sorry that had to happen,atleast nobody got hurt.

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.....

see ten · 08-18-2007, 11:07 PM

Any uh...........Pre crunch pics. Looks like it was a super sweet machine. I'm sure it can be brought back with a little time and $.

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.

local13hutch · 08-19-2007, 04:58 AM

Hey guy my name is hutch and I live in southern cal wich is pretty damn far away but if you cant find a cab close by hell I will give you one for free and a very clean rust free at that I was going to use it for something else but I think you need it more than I do. I dont mind giving a board member a freebee because it always seems to come back to me one way or another. call me if you need to DONT-LET Your insurance co get there hands on that beauty...714-287-5784.....or PM me I am here to help...WHY COULDNT IT HAVE HIT A JAP TRUCK.....

**Boog** · 08-19-2007, 11:53 AM

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.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 08-19-2007, 12:02 PM

Any updates ??? Very sorry for you loss...

RedZ71 · 08-19-2007, 12:05 PM

my heart feels more crushed than your cab right now... that is such a shame to see a classic vehicle survive all these years, only to be randomly sqwushed by a freak accident.
