Re: first wreck

I'd fix the lights, have it aligned, and drive the snot out of it. Put the rest of the money in the bank.

Re: Going to look at a used topper..

I paid $150 for my purple leer cap. Paid $150 to have it painted to match truck and spent $30 for two new locks. I got a great deal for all the effort.

Re: Brake System runs low in 8 hours

My vote is the rear wheel cylinders. Pull off the drums. Easy enough to check.
