2009 Frame replacement ?!?
#21
How old was your truck? I bet that if you started with an '09, that might have a little rust here or there, on time consuming parts like spring bolts and brake and fuel lines, I bet it could climb past 7k quick. What came with the fame? I've never seen a ford frame kit, but I have seen the Toyotas that come with a lot of the small stuff already attached, lines, muffler brackets, hitch, etc.

My mom totaled my dad's 03 a few years ago by driving it into a tree going 20 MPH. Threw the bed into the cab and punctured it, whole front end was half the size it should've been, radiator demolished, engine shifted back, and the frame horn took a rectangular prism out of the tree (kinda like a cookie cutter in dough). Long story and it happened a mere 5 houses down the street from our house, but THAT (your accident) my friend takes the cake.
Frame damaged = totaled for me, even if it's brand new. Wish insurance companies worked that way. Cause that truck is gonna be hell to get rid of, and even worse for the next dealership to sell. I wouldn't want something with damage that catastrophic.

Exactly what I'm thinking. The trucks frames are very strong. If my buddy's truck survived a 30mph t bone only needing new front end stuff like fenders and grille, etc. then you could survive a 5 mph fender bender with a pole with some tough up paint on the bumper.
