Also, look at what you saved over the years by not having full coverage and view that as your own insurance policy that just had to pay out. Cobaltco Insurance collected $xxx.xx dollars per year and now is paying to fix the truck. This is how I justify not getting full coverage. I figure what I save on premiums can apply to fixing my truck in the future. The benefit is if you don't have a claim on yourself, you keep the money.

Re: Sad day indeed....wrecked the truck.
UPDATE:
I decided to play along and let this drop. They clearly don't care about a compliant to the Washington State Insurance Commissioner and they're not budging on the liability. I value my time and energy more than to try and sue, and I don't want to absorb yet more costs. They're essentially daring me to do something, and they know they have the upper hand. However, I have more important things to do in my life than deal with this any more, so I'm going to let them stick it to me and move on. I have a two-part claim that will ultimately pay out a little over $1100 - about what I spent to have the truck towed, and go fight the ticket in court. They paid me a little over $300 for my truck, $140 for towing and hauling fees, and $700 for the doctor visits and time off of work I had to take after the accident. Lucky for me the parts are still salvageable, and I can rebuild the engine and keep the rear axle and transmission, but the front clip is toast. I was planning on rebuilding the bed and doing something about the cab anyway. However, the frame is tied to the VIN, which is now associated to a totaled truck that my insurance company won't insure. So this $$$ goes into a new truck fund, and I'll start looking soon. it would be nice to get my hands on a 1/2 ton coil sprung longbed '69 or '70 (hint hint). I'm just ready for this to be over.

Re: Sad day indeed....wrecked the truck.
so WA inspects the frame when you title a truck? In VA they never even looked at any of my vehicles. If not, the frame could be swapped out.

Re: Sad day indeed....wrecked the truck.
I don't want to take the chance. I've heard it go both ways, so I think I'll avoid the nightmare that might be caused with mismatched VIN numbers and go with a combo that match.
