Coming back home from the store last night and slammed a well fed deer at 50mph, lookin at some bad damage, both radiators, bumper, grille, head light assembly, powersteering pump or res cant tell cause the front frames so bent I cant get the hood up, it still runs, and no check engine lights on, but wonderin if I should just scrap it cause its going to cost me to much to fix. Or if someone around Mid Tennessee has a junker sittin around that has the entire front clip and some engine parts not sure what yet. ANY FEEDBACK would be appreciated

 

It shouldn't cost too much to fix. I fixed mine for $150.

 

Where would I start for a parts list at the pick and pull yard?

 

Yes go to the yard but you need that hood open first. Need to see what kind of damage is in there as well.

 

Couple of hundred to fix or thousands for another truck. Its a Ford, its worth fixing it.

 

Yea man, take it apart and see what's damaged.



I went to the u-pull-it yard, that's why it was so cheap. They did forget to charge me for the headlight assembly though.

I didn't get the radiator support either, I was able to straighten mine.





Straightened it enough anyways.

 

Got the hood open the belt just came off everything fine except all three of the coolers up front, the main bars that come from the frame that the bumper mounts to are bent to hell and the radiator and headlight assembly mount is also bent to hell, can that be easily fixed on a frame machine or another way? Starting to feel better. I LOVE MY TRUCK

 

Large chain and big tree might straighten it out. Worth a shot anyways man.

 

Think those main supports will have to be done on a machine. This sucks borrowin a truck for the week to work and going to have to try and round up a whole host of things, that are time consuming to get. I can see a neighbor has a similar truck up the road in a scrap yard tryin to get ahold of em cause its got the whole front clip in tact. This blows Ill try and show some pics as it goes along went looking for trucks today and none of them hold up to my baby

 

Bent frame sucks, tough call with that but I'd try to fix it anyways. Can't be too bad, just the front where the bent bumper pulled it inwards right? I'd rig up something to fix it. A hydraulic jack to press the rails or something. I've used a jack and chain to press in balljoints.
