Truck bro's and eBay/Craigs/cars.com/autotrader champions... I need your help!

6.7 is gone-ish.... The Yukon was part of a deal selling the 6.7 to my parents, so, ironically I'm driving it again
Essentially they gave me the Yukon for my equity in the 6.7, my mom wanted a new truck and they were actively looking at new GM's so I threw my truck at them and they bit... Just sucks this has to happen 4 days later lol
That's part of the reason I want top dollar... I had a lot of equity in my Ford, so, I took the Yukon knowing it was an excellent vehicle being OK with essentially "giving more" than it was worth. I now need to get that to reciprocate to something else. Plus I know if I wanted to I can just buy my F350 back in a few years, and It'll essentially just be a garage queen until then.
Luckily their insurance company is good. To throw a curve ball into all of this, the people that caused the accident were from Alberta, Canada, and their insurance company isn't in the USA. HOWEVER, they are a multi-national company, and from speaking with my friend who's an estimator for a large body shop, he's dealt with them a few times and they've been just fine to deal with.
When my friend [MENTION=483]transmaxed[/MENTION] totaled his TA he had a bunch of recepts for recent work. It had to been in the last year and insurance would only give him like 25% of what was spent on the repair or something stupid like that. Probably can vary between insurance companies tho
Hope you have more pictures of that truck.

Well, there's a pretty good chance I'm going to buy the Yukon back... The entire "cab" is still 100% square, doors still open and close just fine, etc... My mechanic who's been working on the Yukon for my parents for the past few years wants to purchase the engine/trans/transfer case for his higher mileage 2500 Silverado, He's willing to pay what the buy back is within reason. I'm going to then take the rest of the shell up to Hayward and just leave it there for a year or so until I get into a house, at which point I'll bring it home and start piecing it back together as either a DuraBurb or with a 12v cummins. Can't let the truck go, and this will allow me to hold on to it for nothing and eventually turn it into something cool.
Even if I have to re-frame it... Idc, everyone that does a "correct" diesel swap takes the body off completely because it's so much easier as you have to damn near replace everything... I wanted to do an HD Sierra clip as well, so that's kinda cool that it needs that as well
