Dude if that thing isn't totaled don't waste the money trying to make it a "bad ***" off road truck. Trust me I had a 2wd and thought it was bad *** offroad, until I road in a 4x4. Lifting a 2wd is pointless if you are trying to make it an offroad truck. I like it for looks though

I havent heard from the insurance yet, they had to tow it up to one of the bodyshops here, and they were gonna get them a better estimate, but im still waiting on that call, it feels like im waiting for my turn at the dentist.
well...depending on how much the insurance gives me, if they dont total it, im going to find a HP D60 from a 78-79 f350, ive got a 14bolt ff that i need to do the disc conversion to, im going to order the SAS kit with 12 inch springs, rear shackle flip, i need a steering box from like an 80s chevy, and then ill see what i need from there.
