Maybe I'll get a 4/6 outta this with a roll pan.

I didn't think I was going to get around to lowering this truck this year, guess things sometimes work out backwards. With the money I get I'm fairly sure I'll be able to not only fix the truck but do custom work as well.

Today was good.

Here's some pictures of the damage. The claims adjuster came out Friday and told me it's more than likely totaled which means I'll buy it back from salvage and fix it from there.

Rear.












I put my rally wheels on, fronts are 15/7 and rears are 15/8. I was going to take some pictures of it this weekend.....these weren't the pictures I had in mind.

I have good news. Last Friday the appraiser came out and looked at my truck. Monday I got the results of the damage. They're going to total the truck, I'm buying it back and will have plenty of money to fix it and do a little customizing.

I also found out, Monday after I'd gotten my claims in, that the woman that hit me DID have insurance and had already been paid out before reporting that she'd hit me and contacting my agent with her information. That speaks volumes about these people.

Today I picked up all my new front end parts. I got a fender, paintable grille, paintable bumper, I've decided to "black it out". All I need to do now is send in paperwork and I've got the okay to start working on it.

The last couple of weekends I worked on my black truck.

I started by shaving the holes in the bumper and pulling the dents out of the third brake light and hood. I also pulled the roll-pan off the white truck primed it black, it won't be needing it any more, I bought a steel roll-pan a few weeks back from a friend. I'll be ordering a 4/6 lowering kit in the next week.

A lot has happened in the last week. I ordered a set of McGaughy's drop spindles and a flip kit from AVS. All this weekend I spent working on the truck. Starting on Friday night with the flip kit. Saturday I moved on to the front, it went smoothly until I got to the drivers side lower ball joint torn boot. That wasn't to bad, but it slowed me down. Sunday I spent on the C-Notch and Monday after work I put the helper bag on the back. I still need to raise the crossover pipe, that scrapes on hard bumps. So now I have to order a good set of shocks and get it aligned and I'm good to go.

With all that work done, I took my 17's off my white truck and put them on this one. I'll just have to find a new set for that one.

Now I'm really loving this truck!
