GOOD NEWS, I just got offa phone with insurance company. I am getting $5580.00 for my totaled out truck. They originally only offered $1500.00. I sent them many pre-wreck photo's and receipts for the truck purchase last year. I am happy, at least I got my money back. I will not abandon this site. And I don't have to pay the deductible.

That very kool for you a good guy wins against the big insurance company for a change. So I guess there taking the truck ? . If they take the truck maybe you can find out what yard they try to sell it to if it stays in your area. Maybe you can buy the truck at half the cost as a part truck or to try to part it out or maybe fix or sell it try get extra cash. Some times you can get a little lucky on stuff like that if they take the truck. Good to hear always Welcome around bigtendude .

I have a question. On my settlement sheet from the insurance company, they are charging me 6% tax on the amount of money they are giving me for my truck, has anyone else that have had total loss vehicles noticed that? That's like saying; I am going to give you $100.00 for that fender, but... I have to deduct the current sales tax and you have to give me back that amount out of your sale....huh? I already paid my tax when I was at the DMV for the purchase of my truck. The insurance gal I talked to is not in today (Sat.). Will definitely call on Monday. Mr. '76, I have dealt with insurance companies for 42 years and I KNOW how bad of CROOKS they are! So I took someone's advice and flooded their E-Mail inbox with pictures and receipts pertaining to my truck, plus I sent then magazine advertisements ( Full Color ) for the new C10 Big10, for 1978! They were going to give me only $1500.00 for her originally, BUT...that was for plain Jane '78 with only air. Then I enlighteded them about the Big10, man were they ever surprised! It took them two days to call me back with the NEW offer! I also sent them a picture of my RPO tag and told them where it was located in the glovebox, there was 15 options besides A/C on it. Well I have to make another post in here. Thanks
