Sorry to hear about your misfortune bud. The back end definitely held its own though.

I hope you have good insurence or a good repair shop. They may total your truck if the front portion of the frame is off any due to the crumple zone. This happened to my old truck but the front end was a little worse off than yours.

Sucks to hear someone wasnt paying attention while driving and slammed into you.

Yeah I drove it back home and it didn't pull or anything so I'm hoping it will be good and I got a friends who's brother works at a body shop right by my house and he does awesome work so I might take it to him. But yeah man I wanted to kill the kid that hit me, he had the ***** to tell me why I hit my brakes so hard.

Did you do all the damage to the front end of that GMC in the first pic? Sorry that you got hit, but should be a quick fix by a good repair shop.

I hate coming home and just seeing my truck all banged up any ways I took a look under the truck to see how much damage was done to the passenger side frame where the tow hooks go and it's a lot more than I anticipated. Do you think it could be totaled cause of this or can a shop straighten it out?

When I had my accident they told me the front frame horns are part of the crumple zone and cannot be straightened out. They totalled mine because they wanted to put a new frame under it and I said no.
