Good news is that they can be repaired...just don't toss that truck. Glad you and the family are alright
Yes there is definitely frame damage.I have a good friend who has another 1/2 ton Burb frame.I just need the get the Burb tub off and switch out frames.He has a lifting rig that we used to pull his 67 panel tub off its frame so I know we have a way to get all this done.H ere are some shots of the frame damage.The second shot shows how far my drivers front tire sticks out past the body.The frame moved 4-5 inches at least.There's a dent in the air filter housing from it hitting to brake booster and the alt. hit the master cylinder.
