totaled c10 to rebuild

i totaled my c10 yesterday by a cab driver running a stop sign and knocking my truck in the air which caused it to flipped over the oncomming lane on to the curb. i have a buddy with half of a 67-72 c10 and will rebuild my ol' blue with parts from both c10s becuase the frame on mine is bent as well as totaled. thank god i am alive. i will try to upload pics soon because the site is not letting me. ???

Re: totaled c10 to rebuild

Sorry about your truck, glad everyone was okay. Hope you get a fair price so that you can rebuild. Think of it as a chance that you change what you didn't like the first time around.

Re: totaled c10 to rebuild

They did a number on the truck, But any crash you can walk away from,
Is a blessing.

It still doesn't mean, That you didn't want to grab up the cab driver,
And smack him around a little until help arrived. LOL!

Sorry to hear about your truck, but trucks are replaceable. You are all right, and that's what counts.

Re: totaled c10 to rebuild

Just think if you were in a "newer" model without the thicker sheet metal what it would have been like. These trucks are made of real metal, dont have standard airbags...etc... I believe thier safer in most ways. Hope the cab company had good insurance. make them pay. Buy another and have fun with it. Glad youare ok..

Glad to see that you walked away from that one, Goes to show the quality of "old sheet metal" holding up when you need it! Happy Thanksgiving Eric

Re: totaled c10 to rebuild

Glad you are Ok man, get another truck, use this one for parts-ask the insurance company what the buy back is if/when the total it.
You know what they say, "Whiplash means quick cash" lol jk, but be careful, the insurance company will want you to 'sign off' future liability in case your injuries have an effect later. May just want to have a chat w a legitimate atty-not an ambulance chaser to cover your back...literally.
