I was wounderin if my truck is fixable u can take a look at my truck in my photo gallary just tell my what yall think

 

you need to show some whole vehicle photo's

were are you located in texas???????

 

it would take a TON of work to fix that door frame and get it right, its your money but i think it would be extremely expensive to attempt to fix that

 

yeah i live in gladewater texas i roled the truck once but i not sure if its fixable

 

Screw the truck. Glad you are ok. Hopefully nobody was hurt.

It's just a truck get another

 

Why is this in the Care and Detailing section? I'm sorry, I find humor in it.

Seriously though, that sucks man. But you're going to need to go to a body shop for that kind of advice. It's going to be a couple grand.

 

Definitely fixable... with lots of money.

I'd drive it like it is (If it's safe... have a shop check it out first,) until you can afford to buy a new truck..

I don't think it'd be worth the money to try and fix it... You could spend that money on a down payment for a new truck or buy an older model.

 

My buddy asked me the same thing after he rolled his rig.

He just got the Billy Mays Dent popper...fixed



Glad you are ok, but I agree with Thump....does this belong here?

(I NEVER post off topics threads in this section :o )

 

I'd fix it

Of course, it would cost a lot and the truck would be scarred for life. You may find out a few months later the frame was twisted and ur front suspension is suffering severly...

 

Its fixable. We've fixed worse ones than that at the bodyshop i work at. Insurance? Let em pay for it, or if they total it out take the insurance money and buy a used one/put a down payment on a new one. But i'd buy it back from the insurance company and then you've got yourself a really nice work truck

 

Not too sure how it'd affect the suspension, other than the lateral forces applied to the whole side of the truck.

I believe you just have a lot of body work.

I mean, other than that, how does the truck drive? Is there any noises, does it track straight?

I can tell you now... if it does in fact drive the same as it did prior to the accident, you are most likely fine. However, if it doesn't... their might be some frame and suspension junk that got out of whack.

If you were going to do it... just do it piece by piece.

Heck.. if you needed to drive the truck, you could still while you waited for the parts to come in and get painted.

You might be able to fix the dents in some areas... but it's up to you.

I've compiled a small list of what visible damage there is along with Ford's prices:

Bumper - $321
Left Front Fender - $247
Windshield (Ford) - $208
Top Roof Panel - $565
Bed Side - $775
Mirror - $151
Hood - $433
Fuel Door - $81

Total: $2781
Labor: $1200
Paint: $3000
Grand Total: $6981

I sure hope this helps you out.

 

I was wondering the same, I guess since it's here though, we should say that chit'ill buff out!?

 

Sure

What I would do is

Wash it, two bucket method of course
Clay with Megs Blue Bar using Megs #34
Tape it off
PB SSR3, Yellow Lake
PB SSR1, Green Lake
PB PP with White Lake
PB EX-P with Black Lake
LSP with some Megs #16, two coats of course.

Hyperdress the tires, wheel wells, trim, clean glass and PlastX the corners.

Sit back and have a beer.

i guess this was in the care and detailing section to show his lack of care, haha just messin man, i would put a down payment on a used truck or something, its not worth the money to fix that one

 

dont go by theese prices if it is getting fixed neither insurance or you will want to pay dealer price go aftermarket, sure the fit isnt quite as good but it is close enought

here are a couple examples
front fender $55
box side 400
bumper 100 (at junkyard for good one)
mirror 35-40
hood 150
and i didnt do a winshield or fuel door when i wrecked mine

but my total is 735 for aftermarket as compared to 1927 for ford parts, you could also go all used and save even more i would say 3k would make it look better then when you rolled it with and all new paint job, i know when i wrecked mine it cost me about 2100 worth of parts and paint, that was 2 fenders, 2 box sides, passangers door, pananger side mirror, bumper, grille, and hood.
