Martin, you've got a plan and I trust in a few weeks the truck's going to look great. The checkbook will get over the hit...in time. In the mid 2000's I was working a pipeline project in far west Oklahoma, it started at Keys (at the helium plant) and ended near Guymon. I was driving my 10 year old, but still babied red Dodge dually when a thunderstorm came up and it hailed for about 20 minutes, quarter to sightly larger hail was inches deep in the bed and the truck. It looked like,,,,,,,,,,well, hail. I didn't have comp insurance since it'd been long paid off and over the next 15 years most all of the dents disappeared just from the sun and a few due to my attempts with canned air and freon.

I do hate OK storms.
