I wrecked the C/10 (kinda) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

retselgerg · 09-11-2008, 10:34 PM

Today i had the forsight to clean my truck for a cruise in sat night, but some how my level parking place found a slant while i went out to the building to grab some tire shine. (i have no clue how it came out of gear) as i turned out the building and cleared the edge of the house i saw it take off backwards, I ran as fast as i could and could only grab the door handle for a split second and then it slammed into the hill side at the bottom of my driveway, the notable damage. busted the back of fiberglass bed under the taillights, broke the roll pan, bent my exhaust exits, heater core (broke the battery lose from the battery tray) some wiring harness damage (again from the battery support/tray). at first i cried and was extremely upset then i smerked and said i need to finish those wheels. I called Haggerty right after it happend and they said for me not to worry that everything would be fine but im still not so sure...i guess im gonna be in market for a older stepbed for sure now....gosh it hurts to see it damaged things can always be worse but this hurts I will get some snap shots tomorrow after work

Oh no, now the ball is rolling, it'll be a frame off in no time.

Sorry man, that sucks

It's a blessing in disguise... time for a new fleet bed

I checked out your profile for a pic and found one. Great looking truck!

Yeah, good call on that!

I'm hopefully getting a house/garage soon so I'll be able to put my truck under haggerty and save about $350/year.

??? aren't they going to send someone out or have you take it to a shop?

retselgerg · 09-25-2008, 10:34 AM

UPDATE........I came to an agreement with the adjuster(and insurance company) on the damages we agreed on a little over 4500, i've been meaning to post pics but i havnt had the heart to take any yet. as for the company itself they have been extremely pleasent and helpful

How did they come up with that figure? Did someone come look at it, you took it to a shop or two???

Premium72 · 09-25-2008, 08:23 PM

bowtieboy93 · 09-25-2008, 08:31 PM

sick69 · 09-25-2008, 08:34 PM

retselgerg · 09-26-2008, 08:58 AM

Well they first ask me to take to my favorite body shop but i explained it would take some modification to drive it there, so they just sent someone out he drew up some figures for labor and told me to call and check on parts (as he was doing the same) the next day i called him and we debated each others prices and we reach our number. I was told numerous times by the insurance company as well as the adjuster that if i encounter any problems that were not allowed for to call them and they would allow me money for it as well....shew i dont even wanna start, just makes me sick to look at it
