Default Got a Boo Boo on my Diesel

Driving to pick up parts for a customer last sunday (not yesterday) and hit a Lake in the middle of the beltline. After the truck spun around a few times in one direction, it spun a few times in the other direction then I hit the HUGH Concrete barrier in the middle of the highway. My truck was totaled.

The good thing is that it was a company truck and we have full coverage, but the insurance company wants to total it because the "Horn" at the front of the frame is bent and it is not worth replacing the frame on.

I am considering buying it back (I have a new service body mounted and had it set up right) but I am looking for anyone with an 97-02 that may be avaiable (blown motor or a rear hit). I need a complete front clip and the drivers door.

I did not get hurt in the crash, got lucky though. Waiting to hear from the insurance company on buy back as well as what they will give me for it. They are at a loss right now, they do not get many wrecked commercial trucks and don't know how to price it.
