So I was waiting to pull into a parking space at a gas station and then out of no where this honda minivan comes out of nowhere and *bam* slammed into the back of the truck

Gotta goto the body shop tomorrow

Only damage is the drivers side bed everything else seems ok

that looks just like my truck...but mine is black....mine was hit in the same area...with the same damage....

get your estimate and we can compare the two as far as the repair times and the cost.

What was the estimated cost of repairs on yours?

They better pay for it... It's not your fault in the least bit.

The other guy is claiming that I was backing up when I was stationary and he hit me.

On the plus side either way I found the same color blue bed side for $300 at a salvage yard :D

Your insurance company should be tearing that tool apart. They would have a great burden of proof to try to pull something that ridiculous.

Looking at my estimate in which they just repaired the bedside and tailgate this is what i got.

repair bedside 7 hrs labor and 3.2hrs paint
rough pull bedside was 2 hrs.

7+9=16 hrs body labor @$46.00 hr = $736
3.2 hrs paint labor @ $46.00 hr = $147.20 totaled $883.20

but from the pictures your tailgate was damaged too.
so add &hrs to repair gate 7X $46.00=$322.00 totaled so far was $1205.20.
that's not adding the cost of the decals and labor to replace them.

they were able to just pull the bedside. i tried to get them to replace the bedside but refused...said it could be repaired.

sorry it took so long...had a lot of crap going on around here...anymore questions just ask.
