eddieo818 Posted August 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 (edited) Hey, Don't be afraid to rebuild such a badass truck. He'll I doubt they would steal your truck again since it was stolen in a place thats an hour away from you. Just take precautions like I mentioned above and have a good quality alarm on it and while at your house invest in a surveilance system for you driveway and house. They're not expensive at all maybe 500 bucks if that and it would be worth it. Whether you rebuild or get something different I would look into an alarm and survellance system anyways because you don't want it to happen again and just for thoughts maybe have your onstar activated just incase and call everyone you know around you to keep an eye out for your truck if it ever happens again because you might get lucky next time. Good Luck definetly a quality alarm system! i have a 4 camera set up at home already with speaker and mics in each camera so i could hear what going on at each camera, hey but thanks for the advice i appreciate it! BTW: I just did a google map search of where my truck was found 7403 marbrisa st huntington park, ca,90255, dude there are about 100 wreck yards in the area!!

Rausche Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 I'm actually sorry to hear you got it back... I think it might've been better to never see it again... I hope your insurance covers you for at least some of your loss... I say rebuild it though, ultimately I think it'll be cheaper than starting over on something new... This time though, hardwire a good alarm system with a spare battery (under a locking tonneau maybe?) so that they can't shut the alarm off very easily... Good luck to you bro, post up some pics when you get a chance, and let us know what you decide to do in the end!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman31 Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 I hate to say it, but a small, but minor (and quickly controlled) fire in the engine bay gaurentees totalling (almost). thats insurance fraud..........

Eddie, depending on how pissed you are and how much you want to get back at these fooks, you can put a little effort into f*cking them over. If you have the time, visit some of those wrecking yards, looking for "nice Chevy truck parts." You might be surprised at what you find hanging on some of the walls there... Or maybe try calling a few in the area, asking for certain parts. What sucks is that most of your parts probably went straight onto another truck, but I am sure that they took more than they needed, and some of these shops may just have a few hanging around. It sure would be nice to pop some of these fooks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12'SROCK Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 so is your insurance going to total it out? mine did when my SS was stripped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Sorry man, yeah let's see the carnage. Mr. P. FWIW your story made me call my insurance agent and ask about a stated-value policy; when I added everything up in my head I was surprised at the $$$ amount added to the truck not covered by comp/collision. I did the same thing. My insurance company wants receipts,...I am missing about 3K worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
