wrecked truck on Tuesday

Hi all, havent been on in a while, been busy. This is what happens when someone is driving HUA. Damage seems worse than in photos, whole front wrap is junk, frame is bent on pass side(I hope its fixable), car swung around after main impact and slammed bed on pass side, cab is pretty good - bed flexed forward and dented back some, doors still open great no broken glass, all engine goods up front are gone, tran cooler, condeser etc., radiator, fan, victor polished waterpump (dammit), hood hinges did a number on heater motor area, hope all new front end stuff is good, sway bar is gone and idler arm and tie rod ends. The kicker is the driver at fault had no insurance or license, and I only had plpd, was waiting until truck was totally done and bugs worked out before full coverage, which was pretty recently, live and learn. I jumped right out, without a scratch, the old girl did well by me(love the new shoulder belts now). Anyway sorry for the long post, I think I have the parts lined up, will have to settle for 67 front wrap, I can get a frame but I hope I dont need to, how much straightning can these frames take? the pass frame horn up front is way bent and the frame damage tapers off as it goes in, when you look in the wheel well on pass side you can see the flexed paint on frame. Anyone with similar wreck reconstruction experience I could use some opinions, thanks
