May need to clean up the old title - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am having yet more problems after the wreck I had a few weeks ago with the other guys Ins co(state farm). My wife and I decided to accept thier settlement offer even though it was low so I could get my truck back on the road. After I called them I was told that I needed to give them my title so they could apply for a salvage title for me before I could get my money. They appraised the truck at $3985 and the damages exceeded that at $6600. Therefor state law requires a salvage title. I have about $6800 in it including the purchase price and new engine, and I have the reciepts. To fix the truck myself it is going to take about $3500 if I buy all new parts. I can/will buy some of the parts used but it is harder to come up with a price.
So, what do I do? Do I send 'em the title and get my money? If so I have heard there are ways to clear the salvage off the title. How do I do that?
Thanks, Andy
