Re: My 68 c10
 
wow, glad you came out okay...could've been worse getting pulled into the rig like that. Maybe with the insurance you can get a new dd and have more money for your project?

Wow that Nova took a beating. Had it been a newer mid-sized car you probably would have been seriously injured or worse.

Re: My 68 c10
 
wow your lucky! I know how ya feel TRUST me. Better excuse to get the 68 on the road!!! Are you gonna get a big insurance check for it? im asuming the total it..

JesseH13 05-08-2010 10:27 PM

Re: My 68 c10
 
yeah i know im lucky everyone tells me i was lucky to walk out with only scratchs from the glass. i've always been a great driver and people like the truck driver because he had no symphony for what happened to me. I am lucky very.

WOw...glad you're OK, thats the most important thing. The car...while its terrible for anything to happen to any car/truck much less one with history...I think maybe you could rebuild it? If not for the road...maybe as a race car?

oldblue1968chevy 05-08-2010 10:32 PM

Re: My 68 c10
 
so whose fault was it?

Thanks guys for the kind words.
My wife and I are sooo thankful our baby was not injured or ..

Yes that Nova has been part of the family since it was new. Losing the car I can deal with. Losing any of my children, I would lose it.

Re: My 68 c10
 
i told all my friends that know of what happened, that the big rig driver would of been in lots of pain if it was my truck because thiers no way i would let that slide. lol

hey man, i noticed u had the super 44 flows on it. how do they sound? im going to re-do my exhaust and was going to get the 40's but then i saw the 44's and might go with those. any sound difference between the 40's and 44's?

the super 44's give it a deeper sound and they sound really good it made my 307 sound good im running 2 1/4 duels so in the cab it is loud thats the only thing i dislike but if you want a deeper tone go with the 44's

The 350 will be the cheapest to build. Easy to find too. Good luck!
