a lot of times, if you wreck your vechicle, by your lonesome. it is cheaper to go recycled. its like going to the junkyard yourself and pulling what you need for the repair. most companies have repos that are destroyed or rentals that have been to hell and back and they want to just get rid of them. parting out body panels is fine. its when you get into the mechanical bits and pieces of the truck. you dont want any ones rusted out rear brake drums or frt end parts.

ya, trucks done but fighting over the wheels, 2 are bent and one has chrome gouged off from the mustang impact. the body shop and dodge both asked to replace them and state farm is claiming I curbed it and caused the damage even though there are no signs on the tires and the damage is in the middle of the wheel not the rim
