Anybody ever buy a truck with a salvage title?
Looking at a 2017 Cummins/Aisin, has salvage title due to rebuild after front end collision. Price is $10k below market. Supposedly inspected by a company called BlueStar.

I agree with the others.... get it checked out and talk to you insurance agent.
Also, for some reference, my business partner drove his 2 year old truck into a tree at about 35mph and completely trashed the entire front of the truck. I thought for sure it was totaled but the body shop (a close friend of mine that I can trust) told me it wasn't even close. They repaired it at nearly 20K cost! Point being there may be more to the story with the truck you're looking at.
With how much these trucks cost and how high the resale value is, it takes A LOT to total one out that is only 3 years old.
