Oh yeah, I'm fine (thanks for asking). Truck is drive-able, busted the valance where he hit it, but didn't appear to screw up the bumper. By the way it sounds, I lost a sway bar bushing or broke a shock. Neither is a big deal, just aggravation. Unfortunately, I didn't get his plate number. To be honest, I'm not 100% sure it was an F150, as I was minding my own business and trying to keep my truck straight on the VERY bad road (had freezing rain / snow all day).
Could always claim it on your uninsured motorist, use the proceeds to buy parts, and do the install yourself. Compensation for labor is in the money left over after buying parts, and this should buy more than enough beer to enjoy while doing the work. :) The thing to note on the UM phantom vehicle hit-and-run claim (Farmers terminology, LOL!) is, the event doesn't raise your premium.
