>>Oops... I did it again ;)

[BlazerZR5]

I wanna see the rocker go in! I did one a few years ago.it isn't as bad as it looks.the truck I did the floor was bent too getting that right with out a machine was too much like work but,a block of wood and a BFH did the trick.

If I had to do it over again I'd just buy another cab.after the price of the part,welding wire,spot weld drill bit,paint and other materials.I also swear I could tell the seat was cocked or something IDK too bad you don't live by me.I got a complete '99 std cab body in that color

Do you think the adjuster not knowing what she was doing is why it wasn't totaled?I'm definitely gonna check back to see this.

[Nitemare]

oh yeah the truck is without a doubt totaled, but since she under wrote the the shit out of it on the original estimate we are gonna fix it lol

[layinbody31]

Any actual progress on fixing it?

[BlazerZR5]

I didnt even notice your in Pawtucket Rhode Island! One of my venders from my home business.He's a member here named mike at Bills Auto Parts sends me northern dash assemblies and interior parts.Ive spent a couple grand with him so far.probably one of my best parts suppliers! You should check them out if you haven't already.

Y'alls accent is a trip! Sounds like the Kennedy's lol! it's probably the exact opposite of mine.when the girls answer the phone they sound super sexy.he assures me that they're the exact opposite though,lol.

I'm sure you being in the assurance business you know people.why not have someone fix your truck?maybe get a buddy deal? if not I maybe able to help walk ya through it if you need any advice on how to proceed.I can do body work I'm just a crappy painter.either way I gotta see this.just remember to try to straighten it out the best you can before you start drilling out spot welds.and support the truck by its frame before you start knocking it back.otherwise the suspension will absorb a lot of the blows and it'll just rock instead of bend back.

[Nitemare]

i know bills auto parts, they aint bad

my truck is at my buddy's shop right now, bed off, interior out, floor pulled, rocker is cut

pictures this week

[Driveway Kustoms]

yay for progress!, can't wait for epic stance weekend either

[lowsdime99]

Good luck with the fix man, thats good ins. Picked up the tab

[Nitemare]

here is an update on the status of the truck:



here is the problem:

geico came out on a supplement for all the damage they missed and the truck unfortunately is a total loss, they dont want to fix it now even though the repairs have already begun.

i am waiting for my check to come in the mail so i can buy a new s10. so today i went truck shopping, and picked one out:



i am literally going to spend every penny of the geico check on this truck, a 99 2.2 5spd with 114k. i put a deposit on it today and once the geico check comes in the mail i can go down and pay it off and take her home.



gonna need to start another thread lol

[90blueS10]

Booooo no 4.3

And booo no white.

[Nitemare]

i'd prefer white, but i'm gonna rock the shit out of a custom tutone on this one.

[Slammed83Mazda]

I love the way those s10s look, that factory maroon and silver split is a classic look for s10s. Glad everything is working out!

[Spike G]

what are you doing with the white one now!? you've got quite a collection

[Tuckin15's]

98 and up is alot better than pre 98 trucks IMO so good choice!

[Nitemare]

thanks dude, i think i am going to lose the pewter on the bottom and go with a different tutone, should look good though.

the white one is owned by geico now, i went down to the shop and i ripped out my alpine type s speakers, sony head unit, wiring for the amp, grille, headlights, clear corners, flowmaster and left stock stuff there. that way all those items can go on the new s10, except maybe not the flowmaster on the tutu.

the new truck has some rot on the inside of the bumper and the one from my white truck is literally brand new so i am going to swap that over when i re tutone it. the driver's door seam on the bottom is getting a little hairy as well and i will also address that when i re tutone. also the factory pewter valance on the truck is cracked and will be replaced by the black one from my white truck.

you should stop by and help on this truck when i 5/6 it!

98+ is totally the way to go, that's why i did the front end conversion on the white truck but man the interior on a 98+ is sooo much nicer. makes 97- seem so primitive.

i cant wait to dig into this new one, i'll post a new thread once i take her home. i am still waiting for my check from geico to come in, so i just have a deposit on the maroon truck for now.

[90blueS10]

Im interested

[Spike G]

carolinas are awesome man, wish i was out there too, good luck homie

[PSYKO_Inc]

Damn that sucks that they totaled it out after the repairs were already started. You should bill them for the work already completed. Your white truck was so much cleaner than my 97, it's a shame it's getting scrapped. Nice score on the new truck though, although I don't think I could go back to a 4 cylinder after owning a 4.3...

[NevurMind85]

sucks they totaled the white truck but awesome you got the 98+ truck, i honestly love the twotone with pewter. the down side is it sucks to try to repair it. and yea i love the 98+ interior over the older, so much nicer.

[JCmopar]

When you make a new thread for the new truck, don't name it after a catchy Britney Spears song for fcuks sake! Shit gets stuck in my head.

[Spike G]

you should name it "i'm two-toned da ba dee da ba die"

[BlazerZR5]

Now that's what I'm talking about! I like the two-tone! instant personality your gonna miss that 4.3 tho!

That is the same exact thing I thought after i bought my 03, I actually like the interior so much in my 03 I have never wanted to change a single thing about it there just all around a better built and designed truck than the pre 98.

[Nitemare]

haha thanks for the support fellas, i'll think of something clever for the new thread title.

[layinbody31]

My vote is for Baby One More Time lol

And sucks about the white truck since it was sooooooo clean, but I agree with everybody that the '98up is the way to go

Good luck man! I'll be following

Idk, with his luck, "(Hit Me) Baby One More Time" may not be the best choice.

Maybe Crazy, because it may take a crazy long time for this one to get done too.

[Nitemare]

it will stay tutone, but the bottom color will change, and yes stay tuned!!

[01BlueZQ8]

Thats my favorite tutone combo, good luck with the new truck

[-YumYum97s10-]

well i am gonna mount the wheels and suspension and everything and then probably hate a 3 tone. i dont want the tu tone to be exactly as dark as the wheels, it'll be closer to silver than gray, but i cannot have a maroon, pewter and gray truck lol
