Default RIP Truck....

Well, after the shop decided to get my hopes all up n said it was repairable...i just got the unofficial word (he said official word will probably come monday or tuesday) from the shop manager, after taking the truck apart there was alot more frame damage and it will total out. I think i shed a tear . It was a good 2 year run....never even got to buy her new tires...RIP white

Ill still be floating around the forum, as Im gonna be getting another F150 when the perfect one comes along..

Heres pics of how she started, how she was and now she ended.

Was hit in a hit and run by someone who ran a red light. Completely wrapped the bumper around the frame and bent the crud outta it. Thankfully i have uninsured motorist, but my insurance is taking their sweet time.

At least you're covered! Just don't give up hope, you'll get a truck just as nice as White was, maybe better...=D

Damn, sorry to here the final verdict was fatal... Just take the cash the insurance company gives you. Don't bother not trying to salvage the frame...... Make sure you argue tooth and nail on the first settlement offer because they will low ball you... I hope to see you around with a fresh set of wheels soon! Good luck!
