ok..so this morning i was taking a load of wood to a friend, when a mile away from my house a guy in a GMC conversion fan pulled out of his driveway, head first mind you, and never saw me. hit the start of the bed on the driver bed ,right behind the cab. took out the stock dually fender flare and dinged the bumper. punctures a tire and gouged the chrome insert . bed looks pucked in a fews spots,might need a new bed skin. one of th siisue i am going to have is the fender flare/running boards that were on the truck. i have no idea where they came from and i started looking for a replacement, but haven't seen them yet? does anyone know where i can get another kit like this one and have of the parts that i am going to need? i have pics of the flares if it helps.
thanks for the help in advance!!

Sorry to hear about your misfotune, try A.R.E or check out a speed shop (National Speed in manchester comes to mind), JC Whitney might be a source as well

ok..your not going to believe this ....but their insurance agent is talking about totaling my truck. damage estimate is up to $6900 and thats without the $1400 running board/flare kit AND the truck has a good vibration after 50 mph. body shop thinks i might have bent an axle shaft or even the axle housing.

:wtf2:

Totaling? Ummm :TqT: They are saying your truck is worth less than 10K :smilielol:

Yeah I am seeing this trend lately. Ins co's Totaling vehicles for peanuts and then turning the vehicle and selling for parts.

Kinda like this whole "Donate your car" explosion that is going on. Big deal they cut you a tax deduction and a weekend vacation. They make 10X that in parts salvage anyhow. Totally schamming the unwary public.

That's terrible, gsxr. Maybe part it out yourself. You could probably get 3-5K just for the motor alone. And, doors, if they are good, probably another 1K right there....
