Question Did I bend the frame?...I wrecked!!

I was in a car wreck a few months ago and havn't had much time to really look into fixing the old beater.....however.....I'm wondering if I bent the frame.....the parts that the front bumper bolt onto are totally bent.....is that the frame?.....it doesn't look repairable.....can it be replaced or would I be better off with another frame since the rest of the body parts no longer line up either. None of the body was damaged though.....just the frame, grill, and bumper.......I slammed into a truck with his ball hitch sticking out and turned my bumper into a "V". I might just as well replace the frame......anyone in Utah have a decent shortbed frame?

Sounds like you may need a frame.
You are not talking about the bumper brackets on the left and right sides of the bumpers are you?

Just curious why it says you live in CA, and need a frame from Utah? None of my business really, just curious.:p
A frame from Utah would have a lot more rust that one from California!

I WOOD AT LEAST TAKE IT TO A BODY SHOP AND SEE CAN THEY STRAIGHTED YOUR HORNS ON THERE FRAME MACHINE.
WHAT WERE YOU DOING DARREN! WHERE WAS YOUR MIND? THESE OLD TRUCKS ARE GETTING FEWER AND FEWER EVERYDAY
EVERY DAY ONE GETS CRUSHED SOMEWHERE IN THE USA.
IF YOU ARE GOING TO DRIVE A CLASSIC ,YOU BETTER HAVE YOUR FOCUS ON THE ROAD,NOT PIDDLING W/YOUR STERIO,OR LOOKING AT SOME SHORT SKIRT GIRL WITH A BELLY RING WALKEN DOWN THE ROAD!! STAY FOCUS!!!
I TRUST EVERYONE ENVOLVED WAS OK! AND I KNOW YOU WERE WEARING YOUR SEATBELT.
