New Here...
Hello everyone my name is Mike... I own an 86 longbed 4x4... My first chevy and if I would have known how nice they were I would have made the switch years ago....Its lifted and sittin on 44's... Im not the original builder but it was in a wreck back in november... After a battle with the insurance co. Ive started to put it back together on my own dime...
Before:   After:  The accident damage doesnt look bad but the front clip was shot, frame was twisted right and left side... I started the rebuild a few weeks ago.... Was told about this site and hope to make some new friends and learn a few things... |

Re: New Here...
Welcome to the board from Mo.! Nice looking truck! Brings back great memories of the 82 that I used to own that I had on 44s. I even had the same exact Warn winch bumper! Mine was light blue. Some day I'm going to get a scanner so that I can post up some pictures of it. I still miss that old truck, but I now own an 86 shortbed K10 with a 4 inch lift and 33s. It's a fun old truck to drive and I don't get hassled by Missouri's finest about my bumpers being too high off the ground! ...Joe

Cool truck. I take it the insurance company didn't know exactly what they were insuring until after the accident... glad you're not just giving up on it.
And welcome!!

Pretty much.... but i did have a list of all modifications and prices and a few recipts.... And it was valued at $16,000 It didnt matter... They wanted to give me book value for an 86.. and then deduct my deductuble and I could buy it back for $150 bucks, with a salvage title...I wasnt at fault kid made a u turn in front of me.. Could have sued, still can, just not like that... i figured Ill rebuild the truck and ride threw his parents lawn once a month til i feel were even... |
