Didn't total my truck but fixed it... Did a good job. Before & After pics

Well. Here's what it looked like at the scene of the accident a couple weeks ago....


Took a lot of damage as you can see but I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw what they had done to it.









And here is what they did with it. Did a good job I feel.





LOL... I'm so excited. It's a 2005 Regular Cab Flareside with the 5.4L engine and some other options. Tomorrow I'm going to wash it and do some detail work on it. I love it so far!

Nice truck! You must like FORDs. I had bad experiences with their cars so I've always hesitated to look at their trucks. Looks good though. Have fun detailing your new joy.

Can you explain how your old F150 got into such a bad wreck? It looks like a wrecking ball hit you head on from the drivers side. Your new truck looks sweet and it's a good color.. Ford red is really easy to take care of. I wish I had waited a year to get the new style F150s.

Best of luck.

Big pile up on the interstate... That jeep behind me got cut off, I tried to avoid the jeep but caught it w/ the like 6" of driver's side bumper and it tore through that wheel well and tore the driver's side wheel off. threw me across the interstate and into the guard rail. It was a big mess.

Woah, they did do a great job, I should get them to fix the tiny door ding I have! LOL

Congrats on the new truck, those new F150's are pretty awesome. Got any mods planned for it?

Heh heh, you had me going there for a minute!

Glad things worked out so well for you. I'm still thinking "gee, he's lucky he walked away from that one".

Great looking F-150! Glad it worked out for you and you didn't get seriously injured in the accident.
