Stay away from wrecked truck. It's damaged beyond repair. I already went through same thing few years ago with f150, looks good in person until you put on the frame and no repair shop wants to deal with it.

If you do plan to do a project just make sure it doesn't have a salvage title because it'll be a nightmare if it is

Don't listen to those other guys (do they even watch Westin's videos?). Of course you want to avoid vehicles with pretzeled frames or that need special skills/equipment to fix, until you get better at it. But a project that needs parts you can just bolt on is a good start.

@@karlvonjena1480 , he said same thing about his mustang, now car on the frame machine supposed to be, no proof of that.

@@repairvehicle I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic when he said that the Mustang would be easy, but it didn't take a rocket scientist to see that the car was badly damaged. Not a first-timer repair, to be sure. But Westin isn't afraid, and he's taking the Mustang to someone with the skill/equipment to deal with it, smart feller. I've done about a dozen salvage cars now, with the early ones being parts-swap fixes and the later ones needing body work, major mechanical repairs and even some structural repair. My point to the OP, and to you is that a newbie should start with easy repairs, and also that every wrecked car doesn't have to have frame damage.

Muscle Vs Tuner somehow this comment went unnoticed lol

I'm from joplin

Lebanon here picked up many of cars from that auction

I'm from in between Joplin and Springfield.

Yeah it was nice here in Dallas

Yyo

I say that everytime for every single strap I tighten and I didnt even realize it until he said something 😂😂

RAM not dodge. Chrysler sold the ram and Jeep to fiat in 2009. Pre 2009 Dodge Ram.

@@FoursquareT everyone still calls it dodge anyways, I don't see that dying down anytime either, it'll always be known as a dodge either way

FoursquareT but Fiat and Chrysler have been the same company for the last 5 years I think

when it rolled out on its own wheels its an easy fix haha

Pride month was last June

He s grow on KZfaq quickly

Crashed vehicles can only sit for so long while waiting on parts before they total them out. The dodge vipers had this issue with their earlier years

Easier to total it out sometimes

Also when the body shops get full (think a big ice storm) they tend to write more off. Agreed that the Damage didn’t go over the the ACV, usually at 47% of the value.

Its all a write off for ALL Insurance co’s. They all write off losses......But that is waaaaaay less that they pay out...Remember there nor allowed to lose money..Lmfao 😭🇺🇸

How much did you paid for truck

Frame at the door is messed up

Probably still drives straight...

live and let live The frame is underneath it, not in the doors, the part that is damaged by the door is the cab, not the frame. I have a feeling the frame is fine.

@@RoastFlea61 then why did insurance total it out

live and let live Cab damage is almost always a total, even if the frame is fine, swapping a cab is a lot of work and insurance would rather total it. The cab probably doesn’t need to be swapped, but insurance doesn’t care, it sees cab damage and says no way. They don’t care if it’s fixable with enough work, beyond a certain amount of damage they just total cars. The amount of totaled cars that are actually fixable is crazy.

YoungManMiller for real I been waiting on a mustang video

Fumstang

I think it’s off getting its framed straightened

He rarely finishes a project. LOL

@Bailey Hatfield im with you i rebuild cars as a hobby it takes time. My trans has been in shop for months. Wasnt in a rush atbthe time now im at a stand still. Already finish motor rebuild and welding up the rusted floor pans. And rewired the car for swap. ( minus under dash )

That's what i said to my woman at first then i sobered up...

Cliffords little brother

Dummins

It's weird but there are good deals out there!

Was wondering the same. Why was it totaled for just a few minor dings.

Gspadez tooreal maybe a last minute replacement for a company needing a write off? It does seem odd

carpntrcycl if the door and fender are onback ordered from the dealer. Insurance will total a vehicle out versus making the customer wait months and months. It’s a pretty common practice.

Zach M that would actually make sense, especially being new it’s probably hard to get parts

I think so too..

U should call her

you might be right! didnt think about that but think hes happy to have a break

Looks like some of that stuff on the passenger side is also bent, so need to bend it back. May need new suspension stuff.

Kevin Smith it won’t need any suspension work, nor frame work, it will need some bolts taped and taken out and new parts bolted on that’s about it

Did he say how much he paid for it I didnt catch it

Andre Danciu you aren’t allowed to say how much you payed for the cars it’s part of there rules, but he said he got a good deal I believe

might do that on 2nd channel.

@@WestenChamplin / part 2 of Red Ram 2500 2019model

Westen Champlin what second channel?!

Westen Champlin there’s two channels ?!

Hope it was the boss driving so you did not get the blame 😂. What made you crash?

Really what part of Texas cause I live just past the red river

Cameron2874 lol it was my boss I was sleeping when it happened but he says that he was getting sleepy already and he thinks both him and the truck driver swerved a bit and hit each other at the same time, we collided right on or near the rear wheels of the trailer

xFarming we are from south Texas like Brownsville-south padre island area

I hope you are both ok

Google is your friend

Copart bud
