Tuesday while driving out by Ridgmar Mall I was rear ended by some dumb ass while sitting at a stop light. He was going about 40mph and never touched the brake. His words.....I wasn't looking were I was going..(what is the world comming to) The truck needs a tailgate and a right bed side and the right side of the bed bumped the cab.
I have two options....
Have a body shop fix the truck and keep driving it.....
Sell it and take the insurance money (ins. est. 3400.00) and buy something else??
What do yall think the truck would be worth???
Everything works and it has 133,000mi on it.
Sorry I don't have any wrecked pics of it.. there one my phone I can send them by phone.

Same exact thing happened to my gen1. I never took it to the shop so, the cab still has the dent on the passenger side and I replaced the bed which I picked up for $500 at a Ford junkyard in kennedale.

Damn the bad luck... "wasn't watching where he was going...." what a dumb ass, and now you're left to deal with the aftermath.
