My wc-53 is wrecked

[mcinfantry]

Saturday, 10-30-10 at approximate 7am I was traveling between 60-65 on interstate 12 in baton rouge and was rear ended by a jacked up Chevrolet doing between 80-90 or more.

Snapped the 1/2" cab bolts, bent the rear frame, middle frame, bent the rear cab in about 10", and bowed my walls out and rippled them to the doors. Floor is smashed in too.

The body mounts are torn, and shifted...... Going to be interesting, to say the least....

They are contemplating pulling the dents out.... Or trying...

That rely sucks!

 

[timntrucks]

man those are some nasty pics.. i hope you can find the parts to make it back right. nice looking truck for sure

 

[Atomic]

So the driver of the truck just happened not to see your vehicle that was directly in front of him? Did he blame it on the green paint belnding in?

Sorry that it happened and I hope you can get it worked out.

let me guess they was on the phone!

 

[mcinfantry]

No, he said he was asleep!

 

[mikeroot2]

Son of a B1tch! Makes me wanna cry!

 

[mikeroot2]

No, he said he was asleep!

Why the **** were you driving in his bed?

 

[mcinfantry]

..... I do not know what his limits are. But i hope high enough to fix my vehicle.

 

[mcinfantry]

Why the **** were you driving in his bed?

Haha. I took over thirty minutes for me to calm down. My first words were " WHAT IN THE F were you doing?"

That should be an interesting insurance claim. I'd use the value as stated in David Doyles Standard Catalog of Military Vehicles (cause it's up there) and give whoever does the estimate Midwest Militarys number for the replacement parts, I know just that rear door is like $1500.

I have a Pioneer tool rack from a humvee I will donate. Let me know if you need it. Beautiful truck, painful to see it smashed like that. Glad you were not seriously hurt. Good luck getting it back together right.

 

[hndrsonj]

Humvee pioneer racks are different.

 

[DaveP]

ahh MAN!
bad deal.
this stinks.

 

[mikeroot2]

Haha. I took over thirty minutes for me to calm down. My first words were " WHAT IN THE F were you doing?"

Sick stomach, clenched fists, pounding heart, boiling head, speechless moron that just wrecked your pride and joy standing there looking at you like a deer in the headlights. Unfortunately I know how you feel.

I hope it all works out.

Nut loose behind steering wheel in the Chevy.

His insurance company will try to total your vehicle out for what it is worth in their book.

If they try it tell them that if they do the next conversation they have will be with your lawyer.

Only settle for what it is worth to you.

No, he said he was asleep!

He must not have gotten the memo, you can't set cruise on 80mph if you've done meth for the last 5 days with no sleep.

He was crashing while he was crashing into you.... D'oh!

 

[mcinfantry]

I was going to insure it for 75,000 with haggarty. Not that it would have covered any labor.....

They think they can pull the back out. The rear hinges and hardware, which are unobtanium are ruined. I had cut the walls out and added sound deadening, then welded them back, so no dolly/hammer....... Then the cab is bowed into door jambs..... The 16ga floor ripped from the frame , and the frame is wavy by the transmission and bent at the back.

I located a complete body, I think, in Alberta, they don't want to do that. The ONLY other option I see is buying a truck, re-working the body to my satisfaction then swapping......
