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.

That looks like a very easy fix to me.
Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs

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

#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.

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.
