After the 13 years of my dad owning this truck its has never been in an accident but the truck did good for his first time. The car that pulled out in front of me was a bronco i couldn't go any where i skidded rite into his drivers door. His bronco looks something like a banana don't have any pictures of it. The accident was his fault.

This is what happened. I was on my way to Atco Race Park some of you may know it i was passing behind one of the fire stations and noticed a Older Ford Bronco was pulled over in the parking lot as soon as i started getting close to him him pulls out across the street to back has truck into the fire station parking lot so he was taking up both lanes there was no where i could go i slammed on the brakes but it just started to skid. And it slid rite into the side of his drivers door. The whole driver side of his truck is pushed in from the door and like half of the back. I wont get a police report until tomorrow they already told me it was the other kids fault there was nothing i could do

Don't really know whats going on with it yet i have to wait to get the full police report and talk to the insurance people to see what there going to do about it. If they give me just money for it ill do a few things to change it up. Looks nice in the picture but the whole gray or w.e it is half of the truck has to be painted because of some one egging it years ago. This really sucks cause today is the last day of summer and i start school tomorrow. Ohh yeah i might get some clear corners cause they kinda look good now that i seen it on the truck

No, they didn't have projector fogs. That's an add on someone made.

Sorry to hear that it got bent up, looks a lot like mine did after I took out a telephone pole with it.
If you have a body shop do the work, be careful. Don't get screwed on a blended paint job.

Dude, now you're really being an ***. If the pics are of your Dodge, post them up. But if they're of your Caddy, don't bother. Pretty simple premise to understand, I think.

Depends honestly. Looks like you are going to need a new front bumper,headlight, new hood, new grill, new front fender, and possible a new front frame rail. Add in paint, as much as it's going to be for the two tone, and the subtract all of that from the book value of the truck. In Missouri, when a vehicle's damage reaches 50% or more of the truck's value, then it's an automatic total.
