All I can add is that you did a darn good job controlling the run away situation while finding as soft a landing as you did. It coulda been worse. I do know how you feel about the loss of your truck as I tore the fender off the Studebaker earlier this spring.

**special-K** · 05-04-2007, 11:44 PM

So,that happened right in town,or out on 75?I have a nice shortbed frame to get you going.

SacramentoJoe · 05-04-2007, 11:51 PM

Couldn't see the pics from my other computer. Sorry about the truck, glad you are okay. Things will work out for you I'm sure.

71chevytruckguy · 05-05-2007, 12:02 AM

dang man, that hurts. sorry to here. hope u get her back on the road soon. chris.

**special-K** · 05-05-2007, 08:42 AM

Let`s drop this whole comment made in poor taste thing.We`ve been warned by staff it will be closed.Don`t do that to this guys post.Just as poor in taste,IMHO.We are to ignore such things,ok?

ChevyDude · 05-05-2007, 09:33 AM

Glad you are not hurt kid!

AlienYouth · 05-05-2007, 01:41 PM

woohoo, i got my cab corner yesterday! now i can finally fix that little spot of rust : ) ordered em the day before i wrecked it : (

thanks guys, my uncle is commin this weekend to check it out, and i'll tell ya wats up then

it was in downtown westminster next to maggies, if you now where that is. pretty much the worst place for brake failure...

**special-K** · 05-05-2007, 05:22 PM

Yup.Were you cominng down from the hospital with Maggies on the left,then went right for the wall where that lot`s cut into the hill?Yeah,if you didn`t stop it you`d me hittin`Main St..And,if you made it across,it`s a tight little road across Main and a turn.

AlienYouth · 05-05-2007, 10:25 PM

ya, but i turned left into that warehouse parking lot, not the wall, thought i could make the turn , but there was gravel sittin on the lot and skidded into the wall : ( it's cool that someone actually knows where that is : )

GREASEMONKEY72 · 05-06-2007, 05:31 AM

GUYS LETS DROP ALL THE BRAKE TALK AND CARRY ON WITH THE POST SUBJECT, IF WE ALL WANTED BRAKE INFO HE WOULDVE ASKED, i dont think i need to say more than that

well atlest you can fix some of the cab

, lets us know how it goes, i hope you get it back goin again, is the cab fixable?

watahyahknow · 05-06-2007, 06:15 AM

a good thing about youre cab from wat i heared is that its reasonably rustfree and the part that got hit isnt a part that usually rusts on bad cabs (whell at my truck it has rusted in the doorsills themselves near the rubbers but i think thats an exeption to the rule ), if you are or know a good welder he could take out the a pillar and a small section of the roof under the raingutter and craft a piece from a unsalvageable cab in there , he should be able to get it nearly invisiable cause its basicly a boxsection that wont flex no more and crack the paint .
if the sills and stuff are stil hard and the doors still line up it might be worth fixing it up

**special-K** · 05-06-2007, 08:46 AM

I know where you can get the cab stuff and a swb frame if interested.It`s a`67 cab with a nice upper.You could cut the whole top to section if you want the small window look,or cut what you need.It looks like the damage is up into the top.This cab is slated for scrap.Let me know.It`s at my neighbor`s down the road.

AlienYouth · 05-06-2007, 09:20 PM

hmmmm... i'm still look in to seein if my frame is bent, it isn't visibly, but my uncle gonna come check it out, thanks

AlienYouth · 05-12-2007, 07:22 PM

i'm looking into buying a 4x4 72 in Greenbrook New Jersey, does anyone know of any good towing companies that would tow 200 miles from greenbrook to westminster MD for cheap? i really would love to get this truck, it only needs a few things, which are still good on my wrecked truck. the only thing i ever wished my truck had was 4wd, and here it is : ) i cant wait! i'm getting tired of driving my dads saturn around... any help would be appreciated, thanks

LUV2XCLR8 · 05-12-2007, 07:40 PM

Sucks, enough said

retodd7711 · 05-12-2007, 08:15 PM

there's no such thing as a good accident but hopefully you walked away healthy. Anybody can fix a truck but it takes skill to fix you. sorry for your loss

retodd7711 · 05-12-2007, 08:19 PM

another recent postdiscussed a fire and we all promised to check smoke alarms and elestrical wiring. This makes me want to spend some time on my 38 year old brake system

Scott Webster · 05-12-2007, 10:31 PM

Glad you are okay!

AMEN!!!

mine is all new, except for the pedal pad. this is NOT a place to get cheap.

I had a complete brake failure on my 80 K20 about 8 years ago. I almost Tboned a cop car. (I never saw a cop turn around so fast before)

it sounds as though you have some fast thinking skills there and have a solid grasp on vehicle control. more people should be like you

68GMC454 · 05-12-2007, 10:57 PM

glad your ok..and that nobody was hurt when you went through the window..as mcuh as it hurts to loose somethign you have worked on and have time and money invested in, it can be replaced.. adn acidents do happen,, thats why they are called accidents...

as for the comment abut brakes being the last thign done, im different, because as soon as i get it to fire up, i do the brakes..mst of the time i pull them home on a chain so i already have an idea if they even work,,if they dont it doesnt move until they do..

**special-K** · 05-13-2007, 08:38 AM

Towing will kill you.You gotta get a truck and trailer to get that 4wd in NJ.See what you can rent.

cameeks · 05-13-2007, 10:09 AM

OregonC20 · 05-14-2007, 01:22 AM

Guess what I'm doing tomorrow morning? Yes! I am checking my brakes.
