as a recomended repair shop for most major insurance carriers . i can say this , the bumper that is a aftermarket bumper carries a warranty of " lifetime " vs a factory bumper of " 1 year ".
2nd point is that if the bedside is repairable thats what you want vs another bedside , because most insurance companys will put used bedside on the truck . a factory bedside repaired still has the ecoat on the inside and when you change a bedside you cut the old one off and reweld the bedside .that will open a great chance of rust , because you cannot re-ecoat inside where you cannot reach .
it also sounds like the truck is " pre-damaged " " missing flares " . 99% of people who we fix there car never " really look " at there cars before the accident .
i am not on the insurance companys side , just a collision repair shop .
