My Truck Is Hurt!

This morning I went to go to work and found my truck a wreck! They scratched up the paint and front bumper. They cut my shocks, front coil springs, rear u bolts, rims and tires. The truck is on blocks and I am just sick! I have never seen anything like this. I don't know what I am going to do at this point. All I have looked forward to is the Mod Party and now that is not looking good. I am in the low of life now.

Sam dont feel bad. I have had one truck hit seven times in 3 years parked in front of my house by drunk drivers. My last truck had been to the body to have 3600 dollars worth of damage repaired because someone hit and took off. Then 6 months later it was totaled. Sam if ya need some help getting parts or just to talk just let me know and I will pm ya with my phone number.

Thanks Shaun you had it bad. I just can't get over someone could do this! This truck is a nice truck to drive and just work on. I am looking for parts now and I will take some time off from work to get it done. It will go to my local dealer to be repainted the truck was scratched all over they missed nothing even the roof.

Sam it sucks and hurts to see your truck messed up. Shoot even my current truck has been hit once already. Fortunatly it has just the bumper that was dented by a neighbor of my little brothers fiance.

Hi Barry you also have had a rough time also. I jacked up the front end and put it on jack stands tonight to look at it. The Ford Dealer will not replace the tires that I have and the leveling kit will not be installed so I told them I will replace the tires, rims, and the suspension. They cut my front coil springs! What did they cut it with? Spring steel they cut? I just don't know what to do? Will this happen again? The Police are helping me out. They took about $650.00 in tools they got a new cordless saws all I just purchased last week. I know they will like it.

Ford will not put the blocks in the rear and they want to put the same junk tires that came with it. I will not settle for that. I wan good off-road tires! I am going to talk to the insurance rep Friday to see if I can do the suspension work and then take it to Ford to be painted. If I can't get my 35x12.50x18 tires I will get rid of the truck I worked for all of my life. Ryan was helping me get a lift kit and 36x13.50x20 tires and rims. This is a step back. I need time to get my head straight and find a way to do what I wanted to do. I beat cancer I know I can deal with this! The ins. co. will not cover the tonneau cover, Leveling kit and pay for my tires that I purchased.

Thanks Barry. I wanted to wait until June to work on my truck because I am not able to lift much and I still have some discomfort from what they did to me but I will be able to fix it just hope the rain will not hold me back.

Last night was the first time in a long time I have remover my key. I drive heavy equipment at work and I never remove the key. When I respond to a fire call I don't want to be looking for my keys so I keep them in it. Not Now! My two Golden Retrievers and and a Flat Coat slept through everything. Good watch dogs. They go to bed at 8pm every night and never move. What a life.

Thanks Chris. Rope and a Dull knife! They got every panel on the truck. I have to have the whole truck painted. I have good faith in the Detective working on the mess. The Chief of Police is my neighbor and has known me all of my life and is like a Dad to me. He is pissed!
