    Unfortunate Loss

    I had an accident on Friday the 13th.

    I was informed today by insurance that the truck was a total loss.

    After several years of work and time building the truck to my dream, I'm lost with it.

    I did repurchase the truck, but it needs a lot of work.

    So, I am looking at other options, such as buying another truck, keeping this one, and rebuilding it to an even higher level.

    I've seen a few 19 and up trucks for higher than I'd like, but some good-looking trucks.

    Who has a 5th Gen.

    I want the pros and cons of looking for Laramie or higher dually.

    Oh dang, ouch!

    Glad you were not injured.

    It will take some doing with a new cab and stuff.

    How's the frame on the truck?

    Hello.

    Looks salvageable?

    Since your updates would be passable for rebuilding?

    I hope you find or rebuild your toy!

    I am sorry for the loss and thankful you and your family were not hurt.

    Prayers.
