look at the damage

72armyswbtruck · 04-30-2007, 08:33 PM

Man That looks like it hurts, sorry for the truck and you.
Pics when you rescue the truck from the tree that attacked it.

MXmaniac · 04-30-2007, 08:37 PM

Man that really sucks. Is your truck lowered or is that the weight of the tree?

ratrod67 · 04-30-2007, 08:41 PM

Poor truck. Hope the damage turns out to be minor.

stllookn · 04-30-2007, 08:42 PM

I just hate it when those trees turn without signalling!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope there is minimal damage!

84_4x4 · 04-30-2007, 08:46 PM

that reminds me of awhile back when i came home and my garage door was on my truck it was not attached just leaning on garage and wind turned it over onto my truck

70 shorty · 04-30-2007, 08:50 PM

Ouch! I hope that turns out to be not too bad, it's kind of hard to tell from the pictures.

**Palf70Step** · 04-30-2007, 08:56 PM

Man, I would hate to come home to that. Hopefully when you dig it out it won't be that bad.

Bishops Trucks · 04-30-2007, 09:36 PM

I hate to see things like that. Hope it's repairable.

manimal · 04-30-2007, 09:45 PM

donelan07 · 04-30-2007, 10:12 PM

Good thing its a Chevy

BACKYARD88 · 04-30-2007, 11:29 PM

Wow, that really sucks! Is it going to be repairable?

ks147j111928 · 04-30-2007, 11:38 PM

damn, sorry to see that... hope it's not awful as it looks. How about a board-wide get together to help him out? Donor parts??

timcos · 05-01-2007, 01:38 AM

I do not actually see any damage...I see a tree growing out of your bed...maybe you should move the truck once in a while...you know...so the trees don't grow in your bed.

Spray-Bomb · 05-01-2007, 01:49 AM

I have a shiny penny that says there are no more than 10 little dings & only minor scratches in the paint

If thats too much for you, then you can give it to me

**special-K** · 05-01-2007, 09:14 AM

Trees...it`s a love/hate relationship around the house.Can`t live without`em.But they can put a hurtin`on your property.

67ChevyRedneck · 05-01-2007, 09:18 AM

Looks like someone has a date with a chainsaw.... don't be kind

Aarons72s · 05-01-2007, 02:18 PM

I hope the truck is ok. The tree must die!

longhorn70gmc · 05-01-2007, 03:09 PM

Hello 72RustBuckett,
Man, sorry to see and hear that this happened. I hope the truck is salvageable. I like the color and the hubcaps. Good luck on getting that tree removed and the truck back out on the road.
Respectfully

72rustbucket · 05-01-2007, 03:23 PM

From what i can see the bed rail is bent down bad. A big branch fell on the cab can see a couple of dents on cab. The door is sticking out about 1 1\2 inches which is bad at the bottom. And of course many dents and scraps from the branch. I think the worst part is the truck was just painted completely in and out 3 months ago.The truck was lowered but the weight of the tree has lowered it alot.

WTB3 · 05-01-2007, 03:43 PM

thats tough man, whyd the tree come down?

68caliRat · 05-01-2007, 04:04 PM

Bummer, looks like fire wood to me. Give us some picks when you get the tree off?

Imacarguytoo · 05-01-2007, 04:05 PM

Oh wow. I hope its repairable and not cost alot to do so.
