perfect!
that will total it.
now,when they claim it as totaled,you can tell them you would like to keep it.
they will take a couple hundred off from what your adjuster will value it at.
you can get the check for the value of the truck(minus the couple hundred for keeping it),and keep the rig too.
you should make out alright.

John I noticed you did some redneck body work on your cab corner lol.

Heres what mine looks like:



And this is the drivers side, floor rotted out again!



If this keeps up, I'll be doing like the Flintones, at least it's gonna be cheaper on fuel

I should of used wood like I did in my 74 Mercury Meteor......

Oh man so sorry to hear this John, glad you guys are alright! I think F250 has it nailed though, you may come out way ahead on this if they total it and let you buy it at salvage price!

LOL @ Dave the tree terminator

yea. Im gonna get my truck back one way or another. Even if i gotta walk to the place and get it myself. Im sure i can get it to start if dad didnt run the batteries down too much. Then its just a matter of drivin a couple miles of back roads.

Does this forum have the ability to send pms?? John, I sent you a 'visitor message' - Thanks - David

I am not sure how the messaging works here. I have a 93 f150 2wd ext cab you can have cheap. The fender, grille, headlights etc..is all good. I live in VA, not sure if it is worth it for you to come get it.

I think I have the grill and the plastic that goes behind it all for the lights and stuff to connect to. I will check on it as soon as I can. It is a gray grille if that is ok?
