Really. You have a sixteen year old truck fully insured? I guess I was wrong.
I will assume your breaking my balls because its me , everything I own minus stuff under 1000.00 is insured , maybe I am a fool , but I wouldn't be the one staring at a damaged bucket , and besides even a 16 year old truck is still worth over 10K so yea I will pay 1600 a year to possibly get a good down payment on a replacement truck .

All my equipment is fully insured. I even have $25,000 blanket coverage for small tools

LOL for christs sakes they stole the gate off my 6 ton ! There nutz around here . That's it my rants over .........

That sucks! Catch one of them.
 

There was a 90 year old man that lived across the street and was the original owner of the property where my trucks are , he let both barrels go on us one morning at 530am , my guy dove back in his car and I was stuck out in no mans land , then he yelled across the street and asked who's there ! LOL I laughed and said what the #### are you shooting at us ? He said nope the geese that keep ####ting all over his yard , but I heard #### bouncing around us , he tried to shoot me ! Man I miss that old miserable bastard he kept it real around there.

I'm not busting your balls.
 
(putting on my best canadian accent) That damage looks pretty serious. You could try taking it into a specialist, or maybe even order the parts and do it yourself. THey have some great epoxy resins available for repair work nowadays, but for a truly professional job it's hard to go past the handymans secret weapon. Duct tape!
