Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
I took mine to the Good Guys car show. parked next to a PERFECT 57 cameo. his was for sale for $79,000.
Whether or not he will get $79K or not , time will tell. It was perfect, but to me, wasn't worth it.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
murphys law that this would happen right after i paint the truck
 contractor who was replacing part of my sidewalk did it. he was parked near my truck and when one of his guys opened the back door of his dump truck the bottom of his door did this. unbelievable. and they didnt even tell me it happened. they admitted it after i asked them the next day and they will pay to repaint it. with the one piece tilt hood, now the whole hood and both fenders have to be redone

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
That sucks!
Be honest and tell it right away. That's what insurence companies are for... Hope you get the paint to match the rest!

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
im gonna figure it out tomorrow. not sure about using my car insurance or his business liability insurance. the paint shop custom made the color for me a few months ago by matching the glove box. maybe if im really lucky, the body guy who painted the truck still has some of the paint left. it was one gallon of paint.
matching the color is my big concern.. if the fenders dont match the doors perfectly, its not gonna be good enough

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
Here in the Neherlands, the one that makes the damage pays for the damage.
So I think the business liability insurance must pay.... Hope the body guy has some paint left!

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
take the truck and the company rep to a reputable body shop with a good painter. check the jobs that are in the lot for paint quality. if they are up to your standards have them do the job and make sure the company rep is on board with paying. ensure you have the companies insurance policy etc if he plans on paying cash instead of making a claim. it would be up to the bodyshop after that point as far as payment is concerned, so if cash they could get a down payment of reasonable size or pay up front. make sure to check the truck in the sun when it is done and don't accept it unless it is good. be up front with the body shop guys so they know you want the same quality as it has now and no fading or mismatch will be accepted-charge accordingly. good luck. too bad it had to happen in the first place but it was an accident. that's the way it goes.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
in cleaning the engine I found the tiny bit of original paint on the 47 GMC engine. It was behind the exhaust manifold It was OLIVE GREEN. I have now confirmed it was not grey.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
Picked up my cab and doors today after they were chemically stripped. I wanted to make sure all the rust/old paint/grime and crud were removed. The cab has the typical rust areas but overall I think it's pretty solid. I couldn't get a good picture of the doors but they are in excellent shape from what I can tell right now. These pictures were taken when I delivered the pieces to the body shop. Primer will go on first thing tomorrow.
