Heavy Chevy is gone???

I should have more info by the end of the day. insurance adjuster came yesterday and my dad is supposed to talk to the body shop around 4. I had my eye on a 98 z71 with 98k miles on it only to find out its already sold so that is out of the question now

Found out insurance is cutting a check for 8700 for the truck and its 1000 to buy it back with and estimate of 8000 to fix to showroom quality! gotta lot of thinking to do

 

[junior3815]

Oh forgot to mention the estimate is with all new parts

Best of luck, although, I'd never fix it up myself. You'll have little shit going wrong and pissing you off forever. Not to mention, you'll eventually want a new truck anyway you won't get as much out of it then as you will that check right now.

Best of luck with your decision.

Run with that check in hand.

$8700 sure would go a long way toward a truck upgrade...

I cant find the truck I want though I cant go higher than 13k

I would buy it back, but still use the 7700 left to buy a new truck. I would only replace the grill and headlights and stuff to just get it roadworthy and use it as a beat up work truck or "Hoopty" as some people call them. Or you could get 3 grand for it all busted up so long as it still runs and drives fine. I say this assuming you are correct that there is no frame damage. If there is frame damage, I would just run with the 8700.
