talk to the insurance company and see what you can take off before they claim it and then move on. After a hit like that you'll never be happy with it after repaired. At least you didn't have LSx/posi/FLT trans/converter and all that.

sorry to hear. They should be able to cut you a check for the value. Post pic although if the frame and cab are bent I doubt it will be worth it to fix. One thing that sux about insurance on older trucks like our is they doink you on the value. IMO full coverage is almost not worth it. Think about it, if some one backs into your door thats it, unless you fix yourself. Most shops charge $2k if the word paint is used.Originally Posted by 1fastsilverado
$3500what a joke, are the rims ok? and other parts? Maybe get it back for the parts and sell them or put them on a diff truck. It will all work out man. let us know if we can do anything to help.
wow...hope you were able to see him coming and brace yourself for the hit...

Man that really sucks. Sorry to hear
Evidently your not suppose to brace for a crash from what I heard. That's why drunk drivers survive more crashes then the people they run into.

Glad to hear you are ok.
The insurance will pay you the value of the truck less your collision deductible.
