'65 D100 In Flood. Insurance will give me $7,500
Hello everyone. I don't know if this will work or not. Here are a few pictures before my ole D100 was flooded. It needed a bit of work, but my parents purchased it almost new. The insurance said, "total loss" and will give me $7,500. I am not going to get rid of it, but I would at least like it to be back and running as well as stopping. We are in WA State. Most shop estimates are around $120 an hour. I would like the engine rebuild. Insurance says they will consider, but I have to get them documentation of what the value of the truck was in this state. Those are the original miles 139,000. Any help would be appreciated. Sentimental value is high on this. What do I do? Realistically, how much would a shop cost to rebuild the engine, all new brakes, clean it up... etc? Thanks. Elliot
