I hate to see old squares get roughed up like that.
Looks fixable to me from the pictures. Just make sure the frame is not messed up.
I think you should fix it up and keep it....and get a blazer for the family too! ::)

Guess I'll wait for the out come with the insurance and see I'd I cam get any funds from their insurance. Then see Craigslist for trucks parting out. If things go right then I'll get it fixed up otherwise Idk. I'll keep everyone posted.

     Make sure to check the frame before the insurance agent does an appraisal, frame repair can be expensive.

Ok I'll check the frame for cracks our bends. I do think it looks a little off/ set back just looking at it from the front. But after the weather clears I'll give er a look over. Happy holidays everyone!:-)

Fixing it will be pretty simple if it is just sheetmetal damage.
