Fred, I got a good body guy up here that does a real good job matching up the paint too. Had a teenager stop on a curve on new snow in front of me, then turned on signal to turn. I had no place to go, and tried to brake. I was only at abt 30mph because in town. I slid to the left, but oncoming traffic. I slid back to center of lane and tapped the jeep the kid was in. Both could still be driven, but I was at fault. First accident in 25 years of driving. I have Progressive Full coverage and had accident forgiveness for first accident. They put me on a kind of probation for 5 years. I have 3 left to go. My insurance paid his and mine, but my body guy saved me my $500 deductible with some fancy figuring.

I bought it for a work truck anyway Dave, I was just hoping to keep the dings and such to a minimum, but will get it in decent shape and let it go....I do have to replace the light fixtures on the right side, but I'll worry about a bumper and such later...if ever....it just depends on how the insurance comes out, because I only have liability and uninsured motorist with a $500 deductable....so, just making plans to deal with it on my own....cause, it seems that is the way it mostly works for me. That way I'm not disappointed when it does, but Happy if it doesn't....:)

Man what a can of worms to have opened on you. Sorry about your truck Fred... :( As you know, I've recently been there and done that... But mine was my fault and no other vehicles/people were involved (thank God!). That really sucks that a visit will need to be further postponed but I completely understand. Sorry you got so close to visiting Mike and had to turn back. I believe as others have stated, if the other driver was at fault, then his/her insurance is liable for ALL of your repairs. I trust and hope you got his/her information and insurance info.

@Pastor Dave by all means find some excuse to come down this way. I have the space and can put you up for a night or two to rest and prepare for the return trip.

I guess Fred gave us a reason to set something up for the spring time... :D

Thanks Mike!! My brother got his from rockauto.com and got all 4 light assemblies for his truck with the bulbs already in place for around $300. I'm not going to do anything else right now until I hear from the insurance....just in case....but I do have to deal with the heater core connectors cause until I do there's no heat inside the truck.....:)
