That sucks! Hope the outcome is better than the crap.
That sucks. Sorry. Hopefully something good will come out of this.
That sucks, but fortunately no one was seriously hurt.
Stand firm with the insurance company. Get all your receipts together and prepare for a fight. They are going to try and lowball you, especially since it is "old".

Yeah luckily I have a whole file folder on that truck. Im gonna keep them from lowballing it for sure
wait you mean the truck right?
Sorry to hear this Rick, that truck was in pretty good shape for the midwest...I like that you've already scoped out another one!
Sorry... no pics yet. I dont have a cord for her camera. remedied that by buying a new camera for me
I'll get some as soon as i get home. cameras charging.
It's not looking good from what I can see at this point.

Another first gen bites the dust. Glad no one was hurt. Hope you get what it's worth. Maybe take some eBay or Craigslist listing similar to yours also so you can show what replacement will be. If you can buy it back for a good price at least you still have some decent parts.
Yeah itll be bout back for sure. There isnt even 500 miles on the engine/tranny yet. or the tires even for that matter.. I may have to buy a new wheel for one corner though. it took a direct hit. doesnt seem bent or cracked but I dont wanna chance it a dont think
I'm going back up there tonight but It may be too late to see it at all. plus I'll have chrissie with me and may not have time to stop. i'm takin a flash light anyway just in case
Not as bad as I was picturing

That's what I'm thinking too. Tough to tell, but is the frame really bent or did the core just pop out of the hanger from the impact?
Look at the picture of the front of the front bumper. the bottom of the grille/bodyline didnt move. bumper is still attached securely to the end of the frame. plus not in these particular pics if you look down the side of each body line the whole front clip scews to the driver side about 3". drivers side core support mount is still in perfectalignment with the frame. means the frame moved over. in the pic by the back wheel..... if you look close, its looking flat down the back wheel and the front wheel stands out about 6" past the back one. passengerside pic will come tonight. but you cant even SEE the front wheel from the same angle on that side. if you look closely at the side view front wheel pic the frame kinks sorta right infront of the tire
