Is it drivable the way it is now..

I think with my insurance company, they state if you can drive it even if it's just around the block, or even down the street they will fix it.. If they do decide to fix it I hope they fix it to make it look like new... As long as the frame is square and doesn't need to go on the rack everything should just bolt right up without any problem.... If there is no frame damage I think they will fix it....

She just hit the fence posts (7 ) and the curb. She missed a row of concrete highway dividers and a street lamp, row of parked cars, and of course the other cars on the road. made a mess of the grass between the road and the fast transit parking lot. some front damage, a friend and his wife went to get her and he drove the truck back home. (several miles ). The front wheels are out of alignment and it was trailer to the insurance inspection, as a precaution.

sorry about the luck...

it's hard to say what's damaged underneath the front end but your getting a new bedside, bumper and bumper brackets for sure... hopefully it's gonna be fixed for you nothing can replace a Lightning not even a harley truck





if they decide to total it I'll send you an Eaton in trade for the MP

anybody want to buy a ported eaton

Blonde?

She's been around longer than the truck so technically you got to keep her.

Hope it don't get totaled.

Make sure it goes to a good shop. Two Christmas ago someone ran a red light and took the front end on my GT with them. Insurance paid for all Ford OEM parts and when I went to pick it up 3 months later everything was after market cheap garbage. Went round and round and nothing came of it. Also the car was never the same.

Glad the woman is ok and really sorry about the truck...I love those Lightnings.
