Bad Day
Heres whats left of my old 87 and a 84 that i done for a buddy. The 84 had a Ramjet 350, mild drop and 20" Torque Thrust. My old 87 had 13" & 14" Baer brakes and 22" and 24" Inrto's. Notice how the centers melted away on the Torque Thrust wheels in the rear. Bad way for a couple super clean shortys to go out. Might be a good time for everyone to make sure you have your rigs insured properly.

Re: Bad Day
Looks like it was an electrical issue in the garage.

Re: Bad Day
So sad. Just seeing an ol square in any shape driving around brings a smile to my face. Seeing this hurts the soul. Hope insurance helps out!

Re: Bad Day
Where does one go to get their truck appraised? I am going to have to do that after it is done for insurance purposes.

Re: Bad Day
That's terrible! That 87' was beautiful.
What are you guys doing for insurance? I have full coverage, but I'm sure they would only pay Blue Book (no where near what I have in it). I called a couple of those classic car insures and they expect you to only drive a few miles per year to parades and car shows and such. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Bad Day
That's a shame! Your 87 was one that I "right clicked" and saved a long time ago, that was a good looking pickup!

Re: Bad Day
Sorry for you and your buddies loss. Hopefully the insurance will help you rebuild the shop and get a couple new trucks to build.
