Recently I got into an accident, I dont have collision on my truck so I cant put it through insurance. By the looks of things it needs a;

-New rad
-New passenger door
-New hood
-New fender
-2 new rims
-2 new tires

I think the frame is alright, I better double check though. My dad said by the looks of it I might as well invest in a whole new cab. I was wondering.. if I could find all these parts in black [my truck is black] how much do you think it'd cost to fix? The engine is fine, its all just cosmetic damage minus the rad.

The truck is a 2003. Should I fix it or what. I also still owe some money on it.

 

ebay craigslist lmc just a few places to look i wouldnt be picky on colors cause black has a cpl diff paint codes and they might not all match and fade might not as well so youd be looking to paint anyway....wheels buy aftermarket i say used on craigslist prolly find a good deal.....rad buy it brand new form a rad warehouse online i grabbed one for my taurus i just dont remmeber where but it was like 65-75 bucks nib vs 100-120 from anywhere else this was about 2yrs ago....good luck....thats some quality time well spent with your truck....after this go get comp and collision....period.....

 

How can you still owe money on it without having full coverage insurance? That's against the law!!!

 

It may be a private lender, Alot of them don't require Comp and Collision. Also the laws vary from state to state. My loan is thru a private investor and I don't have to have any comp or collision. Although being what it is worth, I would be dumb not to. Please don't mistake that as a slight against anyone though.

 

Hey, thanks for the response. I'm going to get collision next time. I live in Canada and was able to not get it with my loan.. I'm sure the bank perhaps could of been upset, but yah. Anyways.. really if I can find the stuff quick enough with the help of few of my friends I think I can get the truck back around quickly. The only think I'd need to paint is the cab and my friend who has a red truck got his box and cab painted for 2300$ so I'm sure black will be more reasonable in price seeing as its cheaper cause no mixing involve [to my knowledge]
