All your trucks just got slightly more valuable...Totalled mine last night(with pics) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

CoryM · 07-06-2005, 11:05 PM

Lost the back end around a slick corner and couldnt recover. Slid sideways/backwards off the road and then the tires bit into the shoulder and snap rolled me. The road is about 7ft above the bottom of the ditch and I landed roof first on the edge of the shorter side of the ditch. Im ok, neck hurts but should heal soon enough. Other than that Im just a bit banged up and sore. Glad it was just my daily driver and not my baby.

*newin72* · 07-06-2005, 11:10 PM

dude THAT SUCKS!!!

glad your ok. that is the most important thing!

I feel your pain I just rolled mine a couple months ago, but I did it at 55MPH and rolled it 3.5 times. I spnt a little time in hospital, but am recovering fine as well.

I know how scary it can be, but glad your ok.

so you got any parts for the part board? just kidding.

krue · 07-06-2005, 11:17 PM

KIck the roof back up and drive that puppy!

Deuce · 07-06-2005, 11:23 PM

Kick it up????.............................Cut the damn thing OFF!!!!
Glad to hear your OK. Have any problems with gas spillage?? Tank still behing the seat??

**Hart_Rod** · 07-06-2005, 11:37 PM

Looks rebuildable to me

. Glad you are ok.

longhorn71 · 07-06-2005, 11:40 PM

glad to hear you are ok.just needs a few parts and it will be as good as new.good thing it was not one of these newer truck it would have been worse

CoryM · 07-06-2005, 11:50 PM

I lost it at about 45mph and basically landed on the roof at that speed. Pretty abrupt stop. The truck is totalled. There isnt a salvagable part thats worth taking. Brand new engine but I am not going to re-buy the truck from the insure co. for that. Not worth the hassle. No fuel spillage, the filler landed on the high side but I was certainly thinking about that as I was in the truck trying get out. Had to kick the windshield out to exit.

Castiron9 · 07-07-2005, 12:01 AM

Man that sucks.but your O.K...that's the most important part...............O.K.............you going to start parting that baby.............LOL.................Just kidding.....Take Care...........

whitesswj · 07-07-2005, 12:17 AM

actually, i'd cry if that happened to me. wait it did. then check your insurance policy. make sure that you have to "buy" it back.

You have to ask yourself, "when did I ever sign the title over to the insurance company?"

also, I bought mine back for 400 bucks, if yours has a brand new motor in it then, hey, 400 to 600 bucks for a brand new engine, i'd buy it back.

Mongo · 07-07-2005, 12:22 AM

Hell I would buy it back and part in out, I am sure you could sell some of the stuff to some of us suckers here on the board. I know I would be interested in the muffler bearings LOL

Glad to hear you are well enough to send this email. Get lots of rest and light exercise and you will recover quickly.

Are you going to rebuild? Hope so!

Ps - I like the NASCAR inference "lost the back end".

If I was closer I would pay you to buy it back.
-wheels & tires
-hood
-grille (sort of looks good)
-engine
-transmission
-differential
-radiator
-fan & shroud
-ps and pd
-driveline
-radio
-steering column
-AC (if you have it)
-sway bar
-chrome & script
-mirrors
-steering wheel
-seat
-door panels
-carpet
-wiring
-exhaust
-and a ton of little stuff

If I had the time I would come up there and part it out for you. Take some time and think this over. Tim

69 Short Fleet · 07-07-2005, 01:20 AM

Sorry to see you crashed. But your OK and thats great. I think I'd try and buy it back and be getting my tools out and start salvaging everything I could possible pull of it. Best of luck, Doug

cheyenne10 · 07-07-2005, 01:31 AM

Glad to here you should be fine. Take care of that neck though. I was in flip over going about 45 mph in a 71 C20 when I was 15 (and I was the oldest of the 3 of us in it but I wasn't driving). Truck was sliding on a sidebank like you went over and then caught and did an end-o. Scared us real bad. One of the guys smelled the gas and freaked us all. We finally realized we could roll down a window and get out. It drove that button on the top of my baseball cap into the top of my head and it was sore for a while. Story was never told truthfully to friends parents either.

Take care. And I agee if you had space the buyback should be cheap enough to make a few $$ or get some pieces for another if your inclinded to.

*Tanker350* · 07-07-2005, 02:28 AM

Health and Safety is #1.

And #2 is getting that truck back, b/c I want the mounting brackets to the tool box!!!!!!

Longhorn Man · 07-07-2005, 05:38 AM

Dude.....screw the truck, I'm just glad you're alright man. Only seen a few of these lan on there roof, and it always seems that everyone walks away.

Mudder · 07-07-2005, 06:35 AM

Glad you are ok.....

68cajun · 07-07-2005, 06:43 AM

Glad to hear you'll be ok, man that really sucks. One minute your driving along all smiles and the next your baby is gone.

Passenger side outside door handle for me please (my button keeps falling down inside of mine).

Glad to hear you're alright. Makes me love these trucks even more. You know that if you did that in a newer truck, you wouldn't have walked away.

Todd

p.s.
I was being serious about the door handle.
