Re: My truck got hit yesterday
the major problem i see here is -what you have it insured for ?? full coverage & or a agreed priceon the truck or have it insured by a speciality insurance company ?? im not a insurance specialist BUT have seen lots of these accidents ! it can get very interesting -before all is said & done ?? good luck

Re: My truck got hit yesterday
Just wanted to give you all an update. The other driver was uninsured, because of course. So my insurance is processing it, luckily I have uninsured driver coverage. The place they sent me to laughed and said they don't work on vehicles that old. I took it to a highly recommended restoration shop here locally and got quoted about $4000 for the damage. now I'm just waiting to hear back from my insurance company on whether or not they agree.

The USAA insurance is great insurance. They will treat you right. had them over 20+ years.

Yes, they are great! One claim on the homeowners policy without issue. I transferred my '70 C10 from USAA directly to the company they were using, American Collectors Insurance Agency. I pay them once a year and it is very cheap. Bill |

Well, I for one am SHOCKED than an uninsured driver would claim it was your fault! ;) Sorry this happened, and hoping for the best possible result for you.

Uh oh, USAA might want to try to total it. They just told me they are doing extended market research to find the value of the vehicle.
|
Re: My truck got hit yesterday
If they total it, just buy it back.
|
Re: My truck got hit yesterday
If they total it, you have salvage rights- they can not take it away from you. Don't let them try that. I also frankly think that the truck is worth more than the estimate ($4k)? When my son's car was totaled ('70 Dart) we bought the salvage for about $68. :lol: For a dented fender, wheel cover and some scratched paint. Some knuckle head sideswiped him, trying to get to an on ramp that he had missed.

1SG Rob- What ended up happening with this? I just posted a ? about insurance for an instance just like what happened to you. What did USAA end up doing? That's who I've got my insurance through also but I haven't had a wreck in my 71 Jimmy yet and hope I don't ever but you never know.

Re: My truck got hit yesterday
Sorry to see that happen to such a nice truck! Glad everyone is ok and that you were protected by some good old American iron! Hope the insurance company gets it back to it's old self again quickly :cool:

Re: My truck got hit yesterday
I had to hire an independent appraiser. 300 bucks. Insurance will not accept auction prices even eBay fight fight fight

Re: My truck got hit yesterday
That's a crying shame, these ins. companies are so quick to take our money and so slow to give any of it back. This is why people need to insure these vehicles with companies such as Hagerty, Grundy, or other companies that deal in antique vehicles.

Re: My truck got hit yesterday
None of those companies (to my knowledge) will cover my truck as a daily driver. That is the problem with them.

Very interested to hear what USAA comes back with on their research - but it isn't rocket science. In the end, they have to choose to stand by a customer or choose in favor of the bottom line. Most choose the bottom line. Having said that, my experience is that they are a good company, I've been with them for about 30 years, but my allegiance hasn't been put to the test as in this case. My very few claims haven't been older than a 2001 truck. Watching closely... Good luck. |
