Rearended tonight, need some new parts

Ok so I was rearended tonight while taking the truck for a little cruise. Beautiful day today, perfect for laying some rubber.
Everyone is ok, and it wasn't all that bad. The funny thing is I have been debating about putting on a sport bumper just for this reason. I have my fuel pump/filters and cell in the back.
Anyway, I will need a new roll pan, tailgate and crossmember. I will probably build some type of bumper/absorber to go behind the roll pan. Any site vendors have nice roll pans for a stepside? What about Mar-K rollpans? Anyone use their products? Who has good quality tailgates with the "Chevrolet" on it? Thanks

The big problem is the bed post that was bent. Not sure how easy that will be to fix.
