1995 Chevy K1500 short bed with 19K miles

My freind of 50 + years is high bidder at the moment. Funny how things work out. He bought pretty much the exact same truck with like mileage about two months ago at another auction, but it was solid red. While it was in transit to him he was like a little kid on Christmas, he was going to have white billboards put on it to make it perfect for him. The transport driver called him and said he was an hour away, then he got another call from the driver saying he had some " bad news" the car hauler had rolled and his truck was toast, one mile from his house.

After a knock down drag out with the selling dealer and the shipping company, they finally gave him a full refund after a month. When this popped up a week ago i saw this and sent it to him with the caption " see how heaven plans?'' (stolen from Gene Hackman in Young Frankenstein) Anyway he's in TX so no big deal with the cats being gone, i told him it might help his cause as that will limit the audience in the restrictive emissions states. Hope he gets it!

Wow what a story. I have had a number of cars shipped and some of these drivers show up like that haven’t slept in days. Did they give the reason for the accident?

The story was the kingpin broke, but my buddy said the trailer was nearly new and he owns a trucking Co.

Thanks for the replies. I hate to hear about your friends truck but maybe this will be the perfect replacement. I would actually like to have his truck and repair it for a driver. My red & white one was too nice for me to enjoy. I was never worried about putting miles on it as much as I was of someone running into it. Please let me know if anyone has any questions about it.

Probably not the pin itself, but a faulty weld to the deck could have cracked and broken.
