There are some panels on the inside, but, there are also large holes. Should be able to get to most of it.

Now that you've calmed down, the main thing is you're uninjured. The truck is just metal and glass. Dents have a side benefit. People won't cut in front of you.

I wish my truck looked as nice as yours. A little straighter right now but I painted mine camo just to cover up really bad paint. At least they didn't total it. Does the drivers door open and close okay?

Well, they worry you might not have insurance. I know people who will pull out in front of nice cars because they know you'll stop. For instance, my Mazda CX-5, gets cut off all the time.



Now, after Bambi got an attitude and became Bambo and nailed me last summer, I drove for several months like this and WASN'T cut off.



My Dakota does not get cut off unless they aren't looking. People in nice cars won't cut in front because they are afraid I might hit them on purpose or don't have insurance. (I won't hit them as I know how to drive and I do have insurance.)




Something about that front bumper stops the drivers who cut through traffic at bay. Unfortunately, I did a little too good a job on the camo paint job. I've actually pulled into the driveway and thought it had been stolen, until I realized it was just hard to see.

Try using some Goof-Off & a micro-fiber towel to remove that white paint from the accident. That stuff tends to work pretty well.
