here is some... insurance said they are too deep to PDR so, so far the body man is at $15,000 and not done yet he said it will be in excess of $18,000 by the time it is said and done. He is talking new roof, sunroof, hood, fenders, box sides door skins and a complete paint job.3-4 inche hail really messes up your truck!!!!-100_8362.jpg

they want to make you a deal on a new truck so they won't have to make an insurance claim.... then they will get the truck fix it and make bank off it especially if they have their own body shop.....

I'd personally let them total it, then buy it back cheap, then buy used body parts to fix it..... like a bed, hood fenders and doors..... then get the glass and roof repaired and you would have a good truck for cheap..... but that is just me.....
