datzenmike Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 W in TF? How is a tree on the road and why weren't you wearing your seat belt? We want you around for a long time Rick. I'm so glad to see the steering wheel not collapsed and caked in blood. Unfortunately the pre 720 trucks did not have a collapsible steering column. The are solidly mounted to the frame.There is no give to them at all unless the steering wheel breaks. Quote Link to comment
tdaaj Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Actually looks like he may have bent the steering wheel, notice the horn button isn't attached anymore. Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 insurance companys have zero respect for appraisals ... i dont bother with full coverage anymore they seriously are in the business of weaseling out of anything and everything ... u may be feeling physically ok from the wreck ... but dealing with insurance on this will make u emotionally and psychically sick .... there gonna press the issue of not knowing what happened and should u even be driving .. they spend more money looking for a loop hole then it would be to just pay out the claim and move on ... insurance companys are never on your side ... but i hope im wrong in this instance rick ... i just have had nothing but problems with anything claims wise 1 Quote Link to comment

My USAA coverage has covered my ass quite well, and accepted my professional appraisal. They wanted to scrap my dime, but I supplied my appraisal. Next thing I know they have an agent cheering me on with EBay listings for new parts. 3 Quote Link to comment
