Yes that will be a pretty easy fix. Ofcourse I cannot see it from all angles but it looks to be no problem to me.

id think so unless your frame is tweaked from the pics between the cab and bos looks like its pver to one side dont know if its just the cab shifted over, angle of pic or if indeed they got you right down to the frame

Looks like your axle may be pushed back...or something. [>:] That front tire is awfully close to the fender on the passenger side [:'(]

As long as there's no frame damage, it should be fixable.

I would make sure a good claims adjuster looks at it. It appears to me that the frame has been tweaked some, hard to tell from the pics. The thing that bothers me is that the impact was severe enough to break the bolt that held the tow hook to the frame. That says a lot. It still would be fixable by a reputable body shop with a frame rack. Just depends on how much the estimate is and how much the ins. co. is willing to pay out to fix it. I'd say, judging by the good condition of the truck, that they will have it fixed.....

It deffenitially did move the axle a bit. The lower control arm is betn really bad and it looked like the upper wasn't even there. [&:] Looks like its fixable though.

You're right. I was trying to figure out how you could even see the control arms [>:]...I didn't see the extra pages of pictures [8D]

Like RacinFan said, get a GOOD adjuster. Having seen the rest of the pages, I'm not sure if they're gonna fix this for ya. It definitely LOOKS fixable, but whether or not they want to put the money into it is another story. Insurance companies can be bastards. I've had enough deer collision claims in the past few years to know that first hand. [>:] It looks to me like you easily have $3,000 in damage. They might just total it out and hand you a check. Who's your insurance company? How many miles does it have on it?

like rom said... looks fixable... just depends on your adjuster is having a good day or your insureance compay.... by looking at the gap bewteen your bed and cab it looks to me that something got tweeked good-n-tight...some serious suspension damage...and hopefully your axle assembley isnt too jacked up... it maybe fixable for it to look right ... but you run into the problem of making sure its straight and true... they can fix it so it looks pretty agian but if they dont catch a frame rail that is off by a 1/4 inch .(witch is pretty hard to miss but you never know)... youll be playing alighnment games the rest of the time you own it

If they total it and the frames not bent, I'd totaly keep it and dump a bit of cash into it and make it pretty sweet

Seems like most of the components that are damaged are suspension components. If thats the case get a sweet lift that replaces most of them, and make a stop at the junk yard for the rest

Ya I dont see that the frame is bent. the ins, co. is state farm they are having me take it to a shop down the road from mine and then they will give state farm an estimate. no adjuster has seen it yet. the cab looks like it was just shifted on its mounts none of them look damaged that I could see.
