If you have full coverage, can't you just take two or three estimates to them, have them deduct the deductible and keep the truck, plus the money that the estimates average out to be?

A buddy hit a deer with his '82 Silverado, here in Arkansas.....several years ago. Same story....insurance company wanted to total it. He got a lawyer. They went several rounds in court before he finally got a settlement. His reasons for wanting to keep it were that it was given to him for a graduation present by his (at the time) recently deceased father.

Today, it's a show truck.....and he's redoing the '83 that was his dad's.
