Rolled it

Well I guess it's time to rebuild it I'm not gonna give up on it I love this ol truck means a lot to me I'm sure you guys understand please send good vibes

 

For sure sucks just rolled it Thursday gonna be a long road to get it back right

 

I didn't turn it in and No it don't have full coverage and I'm hoping to have it back on the road as my dd

 

Wow, you did a good job there. Welcome to this site. You will find a lot of good information here. We have had some guys here swap bodies etc.
Good luck and make sure you keep us updated.

 

Thanks guys and I have ins. Just don't want a rebuilt title

 

I don't plan to sell and I'll rebuild it I already have a doner lined up with a bad frame but the body is good for 600 bucks and motor and trans is good too

 

It's up to you but I think it would be in your
Best interest to confirm if the frame is damaged
Before you begin to repair.

 

I have looked it over best I can with every thing still on it and it all looks good needs passenger a arms is all I have seen on the frame

 

Where do you live??

You might want to check your local laws - and/or - what you might run into when trying to get that truck inspected / rebuilt.

If you're anything like PA ....and you do this outside of the legal system (insurance company) when you fix everything up and take it in to inspected, they WILL find issues and start asking questions. PA has strict rules about 'rebuilding' vehicles - and piecing together parts, etc.

You're better off asking questions NOW ..... because if you rebuild everything under the assumption you'll be OK.... your state could deny you an inspection sticker and you'll be forced to rework things.

Just sayin....

 

I'm in ky and I got a clear title I didn't turn the wreck in and in ky they don't give a sticker

 

No yearly or regular inspections?

 

Nope long as u have ins. And tags that's all u need in ky

 

Indiana is the same way. Only time you need an inspection is when you buy an out of state vehicle and all they do is check the Vin to see that it isn't stolen and that it matches.

 

Good luck to ya.

 

You'll have to get an entire new title. The vin is in the body and it won't match the frame. I got a new one stamped into my frame after I did my cab swap.

 

Wow, I'll bet it's harder to undo the "1001 dent mod" than it was to do it. Good luck with the rebuild.

 

If it were me, I'd do what you need to if you want to rebuild it, even if that means getting a "rebuilt" title.

Although you love your truck, I think the chances are good that someday you will part with it. If your don't report this to your insurance company (to avoid a "rebuilt" title), and the next owner finds out that it's been rebuilt BEFORE they buy it - that's O.K. However, if they find out it's been rebuilt AFTER they buy it and you didn't disclose that fact...you're going to getting sued for fraud!

I wouldn't risk it, but that's just my .02.

Well started on it today only to find out the frame is bent it's done gonna scrap it

 

Ya that's pretty nasty. I rolled mine a few years back so I know how you feel. Mine wasn't as bad as yours but would have still been a write off had I put it threw insurance. Got lucky and with about a grand in parts and some work I've got it back together as my DD now.

 

I found a two wheel drive truck can I take my motor and transmission and transfer case and front axels and make it a 4wd will it work or no
