    Is it even worth fixing? Looks as bad in the day light.

    I will have a professional opinion/estimate when I get it home, but I really really don't want to get rid of it. You can't find anymore a 99 built 770 with no rust, which lived its life as a private RV hauler and had tons of maintenance done.
    I can buy another cab for $2500 and have it delivered and replaced all in for $8k, but I am hoping to save this cab, since the interior was completely redone. I will have to make a decision when it gets here

    Probably. Hit the cab on the worst place. IMG-20181030-WA0001.jpg this one was hit on the corner too. Price to get it repaired (severe floor rust too) was higher than buying a cab shell and swapping. 2500 you buy a decent cab.

    I done the same with a 99 fld. Turned over and didn’t turn in on insurance. Cheaper not to.

    This is Great News

    I just bought my 1st truck , a nice clean one owner 97 International with the n-14 with a million175 on it. Heads just done 50 thousand ago.

    Has all records and the build sheet and I also found in the records a recent oil analysis report showing the motor shows less than normal wear for an engine of its age and milage

    There is actually a comment on the report that says Nice Engine.

    Almost looks like it can be fixed. With out changing whole Cab. Sorry to see that happen. Main thing no one else involved or hurt. Material things come and go
