Truck Wreck
Morkai,
Yes it was the one I built to go behind my 500 cube BBC.
BQ valve body,
PTS shift kit & PR kit
CK billet drum,
billet servo,
alto red throughout,
dual fed,
10 vane pump,
etc,
Rare core,
Insurance company is only saying they will pay for the pats I have reciepts for, not my labor, or core.
I will have a reciept for the core one way or another, bought it on an Ebay DEAL.
I would like to get it back and they just pay my labor, case, and overhaul kit cost.
My truck was a 1990 Silverado SWB.
I had painted it last fall, nice clean, excellent mechanical condition, high mileage truck I bought last fall that had been someones commuter.
350/5 speed.
I had painted it, replaced the headliner, some weatherstripping, and otherwise just been driving it.
I rolled it 3 weeks ago going to work.
Was about a block away from work, there are 3 major facilities in one area, a girl was pulling out of her plant, and didn't look my direction.
I saw her begin to pull out just as I came up on her.
I swerved slightly to miss her or not T-bone her anyway.
She actually ended up T-boning me.
Hit my truck sqaure on the passenger side.
She actually hit the rear of my right front tire, causing it to turn sharp right.
Truck went into a skid,
it must have fishtailed, and then it rolled over.
I ended up in the ditch upside down.
Cab roof was crushed to the seat and dash level, everywhere except the drivers side.
I unbuckled, and crawled out.
had a concussion, otherwise not hurt.
A WEEK after the accident, her insurance company was still giving me the runaround.
"We haven't accepted liability yet..."
O-KAY.
Hello Mr. Attorney...
Now they don't want to talk to my attorney but keep calling me..
I tell 'em
"Do you guys not understand?!, Call the fuqqin lawyer!"
We'll see how it turns out..?
Chris would you email me your weekend number so I can catch you tomorrow?
I will need some more parts when the dust settles from all this.
I HATE insurance companies.
We're forced to pay into it,
then when the **** hits the fan they do their best to NOT make it right.
Which IMO should be as close to back to the status before the accident...
A "hobbyist" shouldn't get fuqqed out of labor time on a trans due to the incdident liek what they are trying to do here.
I'm an ASE certified master auto tech with Advanced Repairt cert.
Also an Master Auto engine machinist.
I wish I coul dcharge them what my labor time is worth, as well as interest for jacking me around and attorneys fees.
