If the listings on Insurance Auto Auctions (IAA) are to be believed, the world is losing Chevy Silverados by the hundreds every day. The best-selling half-ton from General Motors has been around for 17 years already, having gone through three generations and succeeding the 1500s of the ’90s and decades past.

The one we have here today is a 2008 extended cab, equipped with four-wheel-drive and what appears to be a small lift kit and 33-inch BFG All-Terrains. The small-block 5.3-liter V8 still hums when you turn the key, but for lack of a working drivetrain, will only put power to two wheels at a time these days.

A closer look at the driver’s side of the pickup reveals why this is the case: dislocated from the frame and tilting to the left, the rear axle is all but hanging on for dear life after a severe impact struck the bedside. Anyone with a background in metalworking and fabrication should be able to get everything back to normal, however, provided the Florida air hasn’t done a number on the steel, since the truck has been sitting outside for God knows how long.

Other things to take into consideration are the drivelines and transfer case, which probably didn’t take too well to being jerked to the left so suddenly. Then there’s the paint and body stuff: dented-in bed and access door, dented front right fender, dented passenger door, all that jazz.

Courtesy of GEICO’s calculations, the sum total to repair the Silverado is $14,060 for a truck with a street value of $15,656–ouch. What would you bid to get this Bowtie to your driveway? Or what would you rather have? Let us know in the comments below.
