The weather's been crazy weird this year out west too! Sorry to hear about the damage to your rig. At least every one is alright. That horse must be bruised up pretty good too!
Hang in there, there's worse things happening to others around the world! And for no good reasons. This may not help you feel any better but it sure helps me once I calm down to remember it!

Damage total $6900. Got the appraisal this afternoon. Needs new drivers door skin [yes the one that I fixed this year] A roof replacement, drivers fender & paint. Came to 51% of the trucks value, possibly can be totaled is what the bodyshop says.

I am planning on pulling the dents on the roof, buying a drivers door shell, cowl induction hood & getting it painted up. I would paint it if it was winter time, but I just don't have the time to do the job.

I have been looking for a cowl hood that wasn't too terribly expensive. LMC truck parts has some that don't look too bad. Reflexxion (sp?) is another brand. If you don't mind, let me know what other manufacturers you come across if you start searching. Shipping sucks on something that big, I was trying to locally source it, but no luck yet.
Thanks,

Good deal. I forgot about the dry ice trick. Now that it is stinking hot down here (and I think hail season is about over), I am going to try it to see if I can get some dents to pop out of the roof. Mine was no where near as bad as yours sounds.

My insurance rep showed up today & is suppose to call me with his estimate tomorrow. He wants me to meet up with the "dent wizard" guys this week & see what they can do about popping the dents before he cuts a check. I'd sure hate to be the guy who tries to pop about 500 dents out of my truck.

I had this happen to a car. I noticed a bunch of dents in the hood, roof and trunk, but the body shop/adjuster noticed dents in every piece of body panel too. Since it was one of the insurance company's perfered repair sites, there were no questions asked. They sanded the whole car to bare metal, popped/banged out what they could and skim-coated the rest. New paint and clear coat, plus a few new pieces of trim, finished the job. Oh, and the only loaner car they had was a convertable. The claim never effected my rate, never even came up during any policy reviews. Got to love the act of God clause!

Hail hit a high end horse trailer dealer near me this past Monday, looks like it got just about every trailer on the lot, $900,000 inventory. The had damage on the roofs and sides. This was baseball sized hail. The owner says she has some coverage, but this will probably put her out of business as people don't want a dented $75,000 horse trailer and aluminum can't be fixed without replacing the panels.. The state had to bring out snow plows to get it off the road, had like 6-9 inches.
