    If the new doors do have electronic locks, and you don't want that, I'll buy both lock actuators off ya.

    It was probably the door locks that caused you to roll your truck.

    I'd be helping you out in the future.

    Big props to you man for seeing the bright side and most of all having the ambition to get a whole new body and essentially rebuild it. You're going to have a new relationship with your truck because of it and by the time you're done, you're going to literally know it inside and out. Not such a bad thing and you'll also have quite the history and story that you'll be able to tell because of it too.

    I know I were in your shoes, I'd have to accept the loss and total it.
