That don't look so bad, heck you could fix it yourself most likely cept for the paint (well maybe you can I can't) and frame if it needs straightneing. If it were my new truck in that situation I'd buy it back and fix it myself. Hit the Jyard and find a truck with a good front end and you would get almost everything you need it looks like to me, then it'd just be the matter of getting a bed or bedside. Well I guess it really depends on what the insurance company dould do about the $6800 I still owe on it, I 've never been in that situation so I don't know what it would be like. In my opinion get it away from that Ford dealership, I'm sure there's a good collision repair shop than can do the work cheaper, or get the quotes and do the work yourself.

 

Holy crap nice spindles, that sux, but hey u have an excuse to get a new one if it is totaled.

 

OUCH!!! That hurts! Let us know what the insurance guy says.

 

that's a shame....

 

it just makes me cry.... :(... but i have looked at some new ones.. and whatever they do... i think everything should be fine. well i would do all the work myself.. but i dont really wanna deal with it.. i dont have the equipment i need... and if they decide to fix it.. id rather have ford put all new ford parts back on it the right way if you know what i mean....

 

that sucks man. wish i could have been there to look out for a fellow '98 owner. there are only so many left.

 

ouch the rim like that is nasty lookn

 

Dude that sucks!

 

your not letting it sit like that with the radio falling out sitting there, hell a vandal or someone that sees that who wants a radio say goodbye because i doubt they wont hesitate to break into your truck causing you more grief.
