I'm afraid she's not going to see a burial anytime soon. Everything about her, in regards to what makes her run as a truck, is rock-solid. A bodyshop somewhere is going to get a sweet truck at an auction, do some work, and have her back on the road again.
I spoke with the auto-shop at Ford. They told me that if I did a "customer retains" agreement with the insurance company (which they offered at $1500 less money), that the truck would NEED to go to a licensed rebuilder who would have the state come and inspect it, rebuild the truck to pass state requirements, then have it inspected again, etc and so on until it passed. Then you could take the salvage title and get a new drivable title again. Unless you know a rebuilder or are one, its a lengthy and expensive process. So, I drove the truck in there no problem, and the ONLY way I would be able to drive it back out was if I took no money at all for the damages.
If I see my baby on the streets in the months to come, I may freak right the hell out...

As for the burial, I was talking about the person that hit you.

pics
These are the pics I snapped with my cellphone. They really dont do it justice to just how hard she hit me. I was sitting dead stopped on the highway and she hit me hard enough to push me 10 feet forward and into the car in front of me while I held firmly on the brake.
The real damage is apparently under the bumper in the back. where it bent the **** out of the frame.

I know, right? Looking at the truck, its like oh yeah, replace a couple bumpers, fix that 1 corner panel, sand and repaint the barn doors and Im gone.
But no. What you are looking at is apparently $9800 in damages to repair.
The real problem is the frame damage that we cant see under that back bumper.

He was working as a ATM Tech for Dibold and he ran all over Hell with that car. I remember he replaced the transmission twice but I don't think the motor was ever worked on.
