thank you all for the kind comments. i'm really feeling like **** right now. not because i'm sore, which i am, but because i truely loved this truck and spent SO SO much time and money in it. the frame is bent, but i don't know if they will total it or not. won't find out until sometime next week when the adjuster comes to look at it.
super special thanks to wkdivr for dropping everything to come make sure i was ok and for bringing the camera to take all the wonderful pics.
Its about 11pm and i just got home, after i got the vehicles to the body shop we both went and picked up rental cars. I went back down to the body shop and helped get my truck into the garage and onto the frame machine. The frame is bent pretty bad. It pushed my motor back into the firewall but i don't think it damaged the block or the supercharger. No fuel or oil leaks but i think it bent my headers. Won't find out if they are going to total it or not until the insurance adjuster comes out sometime next week to look at it. About the only good thing out of all this madness is that i took out a custom insurance policy on my truck about 3 weeks ago that covers all my aftermarket parts completely down to the speaker wire and if they do total the truck, i get a check for the value i declared on that insurance policy which will almost be enough to buy a 08 Z06. Because of this custom policy, i HIGHLY doubt they will total the truck even though my body guy says there is about $20k in damage. We are going to work together on it and since he is a close friend of the family i will get to play a part in the rebuild process which makes me feel good and i will know it was done right. But who knows what the adjuster will say so we will see...
I'll keep you guys posted....

i'll give you a buzz tomorrow. I've been at the body shop all night and really didn't feel like talking about it anyways...
thanks for your concern though.
