Well my dad has an 00 dakota that he was hit and then partially run over by a tanker truck full of water. He is wanting to fix it by putting on a dully bed and not worry about the comsetic stuff and just replace the damaged parts in the front end. I am thinking it's not worth doing, but wanted to get other thoughts on it.... here are a few pics of the damage.

that truck is never going to be the same....
a wreck like that will always haunt you.

 

Frame damage for sure. It'll never drive right.
I'd say let the insurance company get you another one (hopefully it was the tanker truck driver's fault) and go through the seats for loose change...

 

Yea, I'd drop it, get a new one. lol

 

I've sen better looking trucks in the JY. If the motor and tranny are still good, look around for one that has a blown motor he can buy for cheap rather than spending thousands on that wreck.

 

poor truck...

 

look for a new one.. that truck has defiantly seen better days. it's trashed.

 

yea i looked at the first pic like "ok, it might be salvagable..."
then i saw the second one and blew kool-aid out my nose....




lemme tell ya, vodka burns a little that way
