Yea they should. Friend of mine owns a shop and they do complete turn key builds and collision repair. He's also a GM truck nut, so I have full confidence that he can get it done.

Little update. Insurance finally paid up, and my truck is getting fixed! While they have it I decided to do a few things to make it nicer. So I had them re-do my factory seats, new headliner to match, and a color matched spray in bedliner. There are few other things too but these are the coolest. Can't say enough about the shop though. It's New Creations517 in Shelby, NC if anyone lives close to that area, I highly recommend them. A few pics below:

I could only imagine how much it cost to recover those seats, would like to do something similar with the avalancheseats in my 99

He hit me while I was parked at least three or four feet off the shoulder.
Moral of the story is drive and talk, just pay attention to the road. Stopping on the side of the road is a bad thing to do.

Really sucks. Good news is he had insurance, and didn't do to much damage so it was easily fixable.

Glad there was a good ending to what could've resulted in a notable loss. Seats look great. Way to go.
