speed_racer Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 How do you just "throw" that out there like that... "there was a fatality"... Seems if I were you I'd be stating a lil more as to why it wasnt my fault then the fact that they were elderly... Not bashing you... but they check EVERYTHING these days!!

akamcbird Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 the post started with the few fact i had the line not my fault was a way of not explaining the whole situation...he pulled in front of me thats it the forums are just a distraction because i do feel at fault my truk hit their car. how should i have "thrown" that out there?i got the curtisy call sun and the mon news paper shed the truth "checking everything" doesnt change the facts.

Oizarod115 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 was there no bumper on it? it doesnt look as bad as i'd expect for a 50mph crash. but OUCH! still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akamcbird Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 no front bumper...i thaught it should look worse off than it is anything worth taking??? the adjuster offered m e an hour to yank what i can i would have liked the front ds that saw 2 minutes of drive time but by the looks of the lca its proly trash i hope to grab the tires (best to sacrifice some crappier rubber)but the truck will require tires for this 1 hour deal tailgait...tail lights, i may just chop the back of the bed off anything elce?

pingpong Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 By the looks of it I am going to say the frame is bent. Unless you got the skills to fix it, or the money to pay to have it straightened... I would send it on its way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
