Tow-Rig - 2003 Silverado 1500HD - Quadrasteer

Well, can't have nothin nice. Truck got hit again, but I think its done for this time. Rear ended, no brakes, at 35mph. At least it wasn't in the Goblin I guess. RIP

That sucks. As long as the frame isn’t to bad a bed is easy enough to bolt on. Frames can be straightened

That sucks. White beds and tailgate are easy to come by since it’s the most popular color. The problem is finding one that’s in decent shape since they are mostly work trucks and 20 years old.

could go flatbed

Oh no, the frame is screwed. Check this out. Bent in front of the rear leaf spring mount:

We're either looking at a donor (frame) to swap everything onto or just cutting my losses and selling it as is and finding something else.

Fairly simple to graft on a new frame end, but probably not worth it if insurance is available to pay.

I'm asking around to a few buddies but I think its unlikely I'll get it fixed at this point. I would still need a 1500hd donor to pull that off of because I'm pretty sure the frame is unique to those trucks.

It is. There’s a possibility the 2500HD would “work”, but it would be a gamble.

you could probably sell the quadrasteer stuff for decent money though.
