That frame should not have bent from that.... the bumper is still stright on the truck....... If the frame bent then there was something wrong before the incident..... Those are the real F-150's they dont bend a frame with out major damage... and you only have minor damage.... should fix right up and be a good truck again...

i may try to bend it back once i get the fenders and stuff off. ratchet strap, here i come!
Hey, I never said Saturn was the best car to have. I have never been a fan of them. I was just letting you in on what happened when we had frame trouble.
Hell, with a slightly bent frame, I wouldn't let go of that truck.

well, it's not the "frame" it's the part that the fender mounts to, like i said, i can bend it back and it'll be fine.

don't worry, it's not going anywhere. it's staying in my driveway till she's back to new. she's gonna look better than she did before!

94bronc: yea, i am talking about the front clip. i dunno why i was thinking frame.. brain fart maybe? but i think i can bent it back to normal and put the new fenders back on. another fall project from the mustang we built last year.

Might only be the radius rod mount, I t-boned a taioder with my old F100, wrecked the body, bent the frame in front, but the alignment and tracking was ok.

It's called the radiator support, and it unbolts right off. You actually have full coverage?

full coverage as in insurance? that i don't. i'm taking a personal loan for about $2500 to cover parts and paint. i'm gonna go with a little darker red. like a maroon, but not that dark. somewhere in between the color it is now, and maroon.
if i had full coverage, and i called my insurance company, the BB value of these and the damage cost, they more than likely would've totaled it. i don't want to have to get another title, and i don't want to go through the hassle of insurance with my rates going up and so on. therefore, i'm taking a personal loan.
