Re: My truck is "totaled"...now what?

I'm glad it is working out. That blue/white is my favorite combo

Don't sign off on anything until you're satisfied with the end result

Re: My truck is "totaled"...now what?

At least you're getting money back. My 69 CST396 had over $25.000 in it when my son took it to the local drag strip where it has been many times before. It started to rain and the track was cancelled. My son tried to bring it home in the rain without changing the slicks to street tires. It did a u-turn into the jersey barrier completely destroying the drivers side front end including the frame. Insurance did nothing because it was at the drag strip. It was totaled. Instead of parting it out, I took off all the bad and fixed the frame and dropped another $20,000 in it. This truck has to much family history and sentimental value to just scrap it and have nothing to show for the money. My truck was far worst than yours. Keep it alive.

I did. It was rougher than I hoped for but I can make a good truck using both. I'll try to upload a pic or 2 later.
