Afternoon Heehaw,
I feel your pain ! No sooner than I finished the rebuild/restore on my 49 Super A Farmall and I backed the tractor into the corner of the garage forgetting about beam hanging down in that corner I bent my brandnew muffler over like a pretzle I was so mad I even brought the wife out to show her what I had just done ! She must have felt bad for me, she offered to buy me a new muffler

HI SCOTT,

Can you find one at a scrapyard/junkyard? Might be cheaper if you don't have some wild paintjob.

checked several places, found a headlight for $125 instead of $200: but no front fenders or hoods: i'm going to just get it pulled back out straight, and put a bug shield across the hood: that will cover almost all the damage: its a truck..a nice truck, but still a truck..no telling what i will hit with it before i ever get rid of it. 2004 with 20,000 miles..

You might try LMC Truck Parts: Chevy Chevrolet Blazer S10 GMC Jimmy S15 Ford Bronco Ranger Pickup Pick Up Accessories/Catalogs for parts. I have used them and have been satisfied with the service and parts, prices are so-so but better than the dealers.

Boy, I would hate to think I was just half-a** a truck that new. I would consider doing something like that with our '97 Honda w/ 230k miles, I don't think I would do that to my '99 Silverado w/ 95k miles. There is now way I would do that to a truck that new w/ only that many miles. I guess each his own.

like i said, theres no telling what i will hit between now and when i get rid of this truck: so i won't spend that kind of money to fix something so minor: plus the truck is bright red: i haven't seen one yet that the paint matched a couple years later, and i'd rather have a dent in the hood than one thats a different color.

got my truck back today: instead of replacing the hood and fender, they repaired both, so the total came to @ $1400..that includes fixing the drivers door where someone was mowing as i went by and the mower threw a rock and put a big ole ding almost dead center of the door. it looks like a new truck..

When I was in college I had a day just like that. Was a lousy day from the get-go for some reason. All remember was that I got in my old '70 Monte Carlo to go to my football workout right as my mom and sister were driving off to the store or something. I had a million things going through m head as I got just about to the end of the driveway and felt the bump and heard the crunch. My mom was still sitting at the end of the driveway. Traffic happened to be such that had not pulled out yet. I have backed my Monte into the back of her Grand Am. Was lucky that it only cracked the bumper cover and knocked out the lens for the break/taillight.... Cost me around 125 or 150 to get the lens and stuff fixed... crack is still there in the bumper cover I think that car has over 300,000 on it now and my Dad is still driving it. Monte is sitting there waiting for a generous person to donate time, materials and/or money to restore it. Needs the engine rebuilt first... tranny has already been done... I accept donations for the cause though She is still my baby as far as I am concerned. Numbers still match on it and the body os pretty straight...
