I would think a new OPDS unit would be necessary along with an air bag radiator support head light grill grill surround good fender bumper lower valence fog light probably tranny cooler radiator condenser... I'm sure I'm missing some stuff but it doesn't look like a g bar is gonna be enough to fix that truck is pass on that unless it goes for short money but I doubt it that truck is a 15-18k truck all day long it'll go for at least 8-10k


Edit: all those parts plus paint unless they come PTM from the dealer

It has a clean Colorado Title. Those values are pretty damn close to real.

Sorry the blown bag will give it a salvage title if it was paid out thru insurance. Its a federal mandate. Also a bag itself arent cheap. Along with the programming of the Airbag system. Your looking close to 2-3k to fix it.. Been down this road before. An it wont ever pull 15-18 being that it has been wrecked..

It all depends on what it goes for at auction. My dad bought a 2006 Fx4 ext cab short box for my brother with 94000 miles for 3,250. It needed a box side painted, heads, radio, and tailgate. It was all done for a little bit of nothing... Im hoping to get a good deal on this one too..

When it comes to the airbags I'm gunna go all used from a scrapyard, most likely the same for the bumpers and radiator support. As for the grill and surrounding and headlight, I have those in the shop. Plan on getting cowl induction hood. My dad has been rebuilding wrecked f150s for 20+ years, including mine. Ive been down the same road also... Many times lol
