i actually drove the truck home from the accident it was about 10miles from my house it drove like normally. the frame wasnt bent at all but i had it placed on the frame machin to check it out and it was straight. so i cant see any problems that would come up from that and the body is so straight that u cant even tell at all the it was hit so i think it will be just fine

The truck's lookin good, but man, 16k is alot of dough! I can't believe that the insurance company didn't total it. From the pics, it doesn't look like 12k in damage...something doesn't add up. Makes ya think that the insurance adjuster and body shop are in cahoots...

16000 doesn't seen terrible after seeing all the damage. Paint you figure would cost a good 4k if they do it right. And it looks like it needed quite a bit of stuff. If they used all OEM stuff then it seems alright. Not cheap, but alright.

Hell, if all YOU payed was 4k, and thats how your truck ends up, looks like a sweet deal to me.

Regardless of price, it looks good. I love blue so of course I like it. Ford? Looks like you ran into a herd of fat chicks to me.....
