i dont have any pics to add as ive never wrecked a vehicle before.78chevyrado if you dont mind me asking this what exactly hit your 87?glad you came out uninjured but damn thats a hell of a hit that truck took.

[78 Chevyrado]

I was on a 55mph road going 65, and this car pulled out in front of me way to close and didnt speed up, so i tried to go around them but i was too close and i lost it when i got around em. I didnt hit em though, and they just left me there. I got backwards and went off a 10-15 foot drop. it hit the right rear bumper first and started flipping. I went through a fire hydrant and a big fence and into a tree nursery flipping. Hell of a ride, I dont recommend it. Basically I tried doing maneuvers that truck shouldnt have been doing. Ill just hit em the next time. especially since they left me and the cops thought I just wrecked all by myself...lol

Ouch, chevyrado, rolled over? or what did you hit? bigfoot?, by the way, does it still run? i mean engine and tranny?

[Xcaliburpcs]

ouch,, barely say your story, chevyrado, not going to try it, gotcha, but does it still run?

[78 Chevyrado]

I also forgot my 78. Wrecked it like 2 years ago. thats why it got all fixed up haha!

I got hit in an intersection by a lexus going like 35 or so. she went up under it and barely missed rolling it over. hadda get new fender, door, hood, whole front end (suspension) pull out some of the bed side, new center caps. I was perfectly fine that time, not even a bump. I did notice (again) that while the intersection was crammed full of people, after we wrecked there wasn't a soul in sight except me and the lady... I stop to help people, so WTH!






It hit the front wheel and fender a lot, but i was moving too, so she made it from the front centercap all the way to the rear one.

It was still running when I got stopped. I hadda turn it off and the keys were gone...lol The tranny was screwed before the wreck. I never moved it again. I got my stuff from the tow yard and then the insurance company took it from there. i didnt keep the engine cuz i had no use for it, I forgot about grandads truck, the one I have now, or id have kept it for grandads truck.

wow 78chevyrado that story brings to memory something that happened to my dad's brother with the 1970 C10 he had at the time.i was still real little as this was the mid 80's when it happened so i dont recall alot about this truck other than it was a white exterior/i believe green interior longbed with a unknown CID V-8/3OTT and not much else.my uncle is a biker so this was not his main transportation just there in case he needed it.well he was out driving it one day out on one of the rural highways in arizona when he somehow lost control and rolled the truck.caved in the driver side of the cab but the passenger side somehow remained mostly intact.somehow he got ahold of my dad(this was before cell phones were all the rage)and my dad and his brother in law(mom's older brother bill)went to get him.rest of the truck was undamaged except for the cab.my dad for the longest time talked about buying that truck and me and him restoring it.i hoped he would as this was one of the 3 chevy trucks i was exposed to as a kid that started my love for old gm trucks.i like the 67-72 trucks just about as much as the square bodies ive just owned more square bodies up to this point.my dad never ended up buying the 70 for reasons i dont recall.oh well i have my own truck now well two of them and im happy with that.

Here is my 87 GMC.. car pulled out in front of me.

so what happen to the truck scraped it?

[Prerunner1982]

On both of them yes.... the 87 already had frame damage but after this it was beyond repair. The 82 had some in the rear but it wasn't bad, it wasn't a direct hit to the frame it was mostly body damage as I slide up the nose of the other truck. I was able to bolt another bed on and drive it for years with no problem.

wow that blows!!! i woulda lost it especially if they were dui and you were just parked infront of your house. built chevy tuff though. it looks like the navigator got the worst of it and you probs got a free rebuild on the truck from insurance

[Silence86]

Yeah it happened to be an elderly woman who shouldn't have been driving, she fell asleep at the wheel. The frame was bent and a year later I got an 86

[87 chevy silverado]

hopefully u pulled all the good parts off of it an put it on the new one

[Silence86]

Yeah only thing that was trashed was the bedside passenger fender and cab, everything else was slapped back on did have to order a new headlamp bezel. Other than that all of its the same. If I ever need parts I got em in the back shed. And the good this was I got 2800 from the insurance and paid 900 for a straight body shortbed with motor and trans

I really hope I do not post any pictures here on this post.

So I took the opportunity to get rid of the chrome bumper and replace it with a paint to match bumper, Z71 valance (which I also painted to match) clear headlights and signals, and a paint to match grill instead of the chrome one. I also got rid of the fender flares and running boards and lowered it 2/3
