    We are. Totaling it is the last thing he needs....he'll still owe 5 grand, and have no vehicle. Mechanically, it's fine...the cab and d/s doors are gone, one frame member is bent. Aside from cutting the shifter hole in the floor(2x cab-4x truck) and moving the seatbelt mounts(03 cab 05 truck) it's a part swap, and an allover paint job. Yes, I warn them,but they're never really ready One lady literally passed out and hit the floor, movie style, when she saw her sons' wreck...(the kid was fine) I'd never actually seen anyone do that before I thought she was kidding

    The finished results are in my gallery. Unfortunately, I can't get them up here yet The owner was thrilled, said he wished he'd had us do the bed at the same time. Dude is a steeplejack...climbs cell towers for a living...got guns on him like Hulk Hogan. The truck is a work truck, and was covered in scratches... the detailer did an excellent job. He took like twenty pounds of sand outta the frame, and around the tank...buffed the entire truck, then polished and waxed it...shampooed the interior and headliner...washed the engine bay, and put new stripes on the side. (the owner went over and tipped him) I love a happy ending. Wayne

    Didn't you post finished pics before? I am sure I saw a Confederate flag in the back window and was going to ask if that was from the donor truck or the customer's truck.
