[72shadetree]

you now i was hit sat before last.well my ins.is handling it
it got outter grille/bumper/fender and inner fender/rad support/fan shroud/bent wheel.and the frame is bent the wheel base is almost a inch shorter on dr side plus the bed is real close to cab on dr side.i have $12000.00 stated value collision on it.i had it est at $4500 damage at a new car dealership.the ins adjuster looked at it and called me today and said $2300 to fix it.

they want to put it on frame machine est 6.5 hours.it hit so hard that the steering rod come back thru the column almost the inch.

i know the body can be fixed but i dont want it on the frame machine.can i make them pay the damages so i can swap to another frame or am i stuck with the frame machine.

i will not settle for the 2300 i am going to call back in the morning and if not satisfied going to contact a lawyer.

just wanted your advice. thanks henry
