I think maybe $200 max, my truck is a five-footer with plenty of blemishes.
The shop said the job would be $1200. I looked at the list of things and it's pretty involved including removing the trim pieces, brake lights, paint and side panel. The young man who helped me was half the age of my truck and knows nothing about them. I am thinking that all these items came from some computer program and used a newer truck profile. For example, there is two hours labor to repair the bumper cover which doesn't even exist. For fun, I attached it although it might be too small to read.
Anyway, I told "do not total my truck". The last thing I want is for AAA to just give me $1200 and keep my truck, which of course I have much more $$$ invested in it.
Thanks for your replies, I'll keep you posted.
