Ouch! My heart aches for you, I'm always so paranoid of something like this happing to mine every time I take it out. 2010's are getting fewer and fewer on the road.

$30K X 80% = $24K. I'd think they can fix it for less than $24K

It will be a total.loss.

Same issue for me (opposite side) also a couple years ago, same color same truck. After 3 months and $24K in repairs I declined to accept it as the bed was crocked and tailgate was way out of whack. They asked to surrender and gave me $35K

I was sitting still on the highway and dude hit me, I remember seeing his face lite up by his cell. Police report estimated he was doing 60. hope everyone is OK.

Yeah that’s quite the gap between the tailgate and bedside!!

Oh man my heart goes out to ya. I have an extra 10k in insurance due to the aftermarket parts ive put on it just incase something like this happens. Great color and scab too, man!!

The 1st estimate had a used replacement bed in their estimate.. The 2nd shop Is claiming the bed can be repaired and claims the steering column is shot (because the top of the steering wheel is bent from the impact grip). The bed is shot, there is no doubt in my mind. He said he doesn't want to wait around for a used bed and have to deal with dents etc. To me it sounds like he doesn't want to repair it and hopes it.totals out. His estimate is $20.5k. I'm not a experienced body guy but I did graduate from collision/refinishing with custom fabrication and street rod at Wyotech. How about actually putting the truck on a frame rack 1st as part of the estimate? And then go from there?

Exactly. The 1st quote was $15k with a used replacement bed and no frame work. The 2nd was $20k with the shop replacement parts of the bed, the entire steering wheel and column. The bed is definitely toast.

Damn that was quite a whack. Glad you made it out o.k.
