fiatslug87 Posted September 24, 2016 Posted September 24, 2016 Walked to my truck after work yesterday and came across this. I just stood in the street stunned, obviously there was no note on my windshield. Looks like a truck tried backing up and hit it, slicing right through the cab, hopefully the security cameras caught something but I'm not counting on it. I filed a hit and run report just in case, although I do not have full insurance on it. On the bright side there may be some parts for you guys.
neohic Posted September 24, 2016 Posted September 24, 2016 $#!& like that gets my blood boiling. Sorry it happened, man. :fs2:
Pete M Posted September 24, 2016 Posted September 24, 2016 been there and it sucks royally :( you're not seriously going to part out your truck over that, are you? yours is still in infinitely better shape than mine. Just need to plug the holes. :thumbsup:
HOrnbrod Posted September 24, 2016 Posted September 24, 2016 It's possible, but not probable, that the truck driver that backed into you never knew it. Way back when I was driving a Sunoco tanker and maneuvering in the service station lot to dump some gas at night, I nearly totaled a VW bug backing up and didn't even notice or feel it.
fiatslug87 Posted September 24, 2016 Author Posted September 24, 2016 Well, I do subscribe to indeterminism, so yes there is a chance.
RustyRodder Posted September 25, 2016 Posted September 25, 2016 Wow, thats bad. Although I am trying to figure out how that hit by the B moulding happened
sinkrun Posted September 25, 2016 Posted September 25, 2016 Sorry to hear this however up north here we pound that out weld it up and good as new. Also could be worse friend of the family had a BAD wreck in his 454 SS chevelle today he is in BAD shape. Hes a older fellow may have been medical not sure at this point. https://www.facebook.com/wtajtv/photos/a.111040587741.99664.97198902741/10153911047147742/?type=3&theater
DirtyComanche Posted September 25, 2016 Posted September 25, 2016 Wow, that sucks. It could be repaired but it wouldn't be the easiest job.
johnj92131 Posted September 25, 2016 Posted September 25, 2016 Truck is repairable. Mine was worse and got fixed very well. Still sucks to come out and find stuff like this. It will take some time to find a shop interested in actually fixing the truck for a fair price. Most shops want to do just insurance jobs.
ParadiseMJ Posted September 30, 2016 Posted September 30, 2016 That sucks. Think of it as an opportunity to get a new paint job. Keep an eye out for a truck with that profile and red paint on it. Looks like a flat bed or even a lift gate?.
fiatslug87 Posted October 15, 2016 Author Posted October 15, 2016 So if I use X-Flex 200mph tape does that mean now I can go 200mph? http://www.racerstape.com/np.html
