Body damage. Can you live with it?
Everybody calls my truck a pos bc of how rough the body is. Not from rust but dents and scratches, a TON of them al over the bed. It was used as a scrap truck and I continue to use it as a work truck just beating the body up worse. The way I look at It it's not the body that makes it a good or a bad truck it's the motor and stuff that that makes it a nice truck. How much dose body damage mean to you? Minor dents and scratches that is.

Re: Body damage. Can you live with it?
I can handle door dings and scratches. But I HATE dents with a passion.

The way I look at it if it's already beat who cares lol. I could see being upset if your truck was originally clean, but not me lol

I'm guessing you don't haul anything in your truck then....
Why do you drive a truck?

Well I obviously agree, but I actually use my truck as a truck. I haul whatever I need to haul, and I drive it off road when I need to.
He does neither of those things, which are the main reasons one would purchase a truck.
