Re: 55 2nd serie GMC
Glad you are alright. I'm sure she couldn't see you because of all that bright, shiny chrome.
Your truck would be "Totaled" in the US with all that damage. This is the second great looking, finished "board" truck (Painter D was the other), that has been severely damaged(totaled) in the last year. I've watched you build (rebuild) this truck for years and this is a damn shame, but I'm sure you will rebuild it better than ever. Good Luck. Ricky

Re: 55 2nd serie GMC
Glad you're safe and sound.
Did the insurance company total it? You'll have a salvage title - I don't know if that matters to you or not. It was and will again be an awesome truck!

Doesnt look like anything you cant handle since you have done the whole truck! this will be a piece of cake.

Re: 55 2nd serie GMC
Yes, totaled with salvage title, I may get a different cab so I can get a clean title but I'm not sure yet. Here in Canada those old truck only have a vin number on the cab nothing on the frame, since my frame is shot I may transfer all my good parts to a new frame and cab.

Re: 55 2nd serie GMC
Tonight i started to take the truck apart to see what i need to replace and to see what can be fix. Got the bumper off, i'm going to try to save the bumper bullets but the right one is bend pretty good. The bumper and upper bar are toast. My custom grill insert is done too, i'm hoping my machinist kept the schematics on his computer.
