Well apparently it does not like my before pics, says the file is too large, but she was very nice looking. Not a dent. Everyone was OK. 5 cars total. I was surprised at the damage I did to the tahoe, and the honda and the passat after I spun sidways and hit them. Even more surprising I didn't have a scratch. The trucks cab is fine I went by today and eyeballed the frame and it looks true. It looks like the fender, hood, rad support, grill, and front left spindle took the brunt of it.
I'm sure the Ins co will low ball me and we'll play that game but after its all said and done I'll haul her home and start on the project I just finished, did I mention just 200 miles on the new engine??

First: Wahooooooooo!!! I just hit 100 and got to post my pic!!!
Next: At least now you have an excuse to do anything you ever wanted to do to the truck. At least your engine is done Just trying to find something positive in this bad situation.

trucks can be replaced you cant lucklly you got out without a scratch, and the truck did survive. Have fun tearing into it and rebuilding it (bigger better stronger than before, kinda like the six million dollar man) it is discouraging when ya have a mess up like this after building a project, but it usually turns out ok in the end good luck

Hey, Walker, you're in Phoenix, right? If you can't locate the parts locally, I think I can locate them here in Tucson. Let me know if you need help, and I'll start diggin'. We gotta get that beauty bac on the road.

Glad everyone is ok. The truck can be rebuilt.
I have a couple of early hoods that are probably salvagable. EdB |

Thanks for all the offers of parts and support, I am sure going to need them. I will get back with you on the parts as soon as I get her home and torn down. Sure miss seeing her in the driveway though.
