I'd say tear into it and see how far the damage goes. Looking at a fender, grille,radiator and bumper you are probaly going to spent about $1500-$2000 in good used parts. Good thinking man. Let's start a parts list! Fender Wheel Well Radiator support Intercooler Pass Fender Driver Fender Bumper Grille Passenger Marker Light Passenger Headlight Bucket Passenger Hood Hinge We did look over the front frame rails for cracks and have yet to find any. Is it possible to straighten the frame on something like this?

The radiator support is a 91.5 to 93 piece only. Non-IC trucks got different core supports. They can be hard to find.
That truck got hit hard. There's a good chance that rail is bent.

Considering how these are the best thing to a muscle car, I'd say yes fix it.
If you don't want to, pm me, I may be interested in it.
Don't let it to scrap, the parts are worth much more than insurance will pay.

The big questions is can a frame rack straighten something like this if it is in fact bent? It was such a stupid accident. A guy in a little Hyundai turn left into me at about 25 MPH.

i would fix it---you might have broken the motor mounts as well---surprised you didnt list the radiator as well---at a pick apart the complete fender/hood/bumper/core support wouldnt even run $350--buy a new intercooler---if you drove it to my house i have all the parts in white---heck if the price was right i would drive it to my house...bob Fender Wheel Well Radiator support Intercooler Pass Fender Driver Fender Bumper Grille Passenger Marker Light Passenger Headlight Bucket Passenger Hood Hinge Radiator If you have parts in white I'm all ears. Do you think I'm better off buying junk yard parts over aftermarket fenders/grille/etc? Are the ching-chong parts junk?

original sheet metal is the best----the only economical shipping is trailways/greyhound and they have a 100 # limit on packages----start some craigs searches in an area you are comfortable with...just ran a search for you---craigs--got units in beaver creek, eagle creek and a whole body and frame in renton....

Now is the time to swap the running gear into an older crew cab or Ramcharger.
Sorry about your truck but if it were mine I would fix it or swap into something else.

Take a look at Dieseltruckresource.com and see what you can find. There are a few 1st gen owners in your part of the country. The most important thing for you to do is read The Sticky. http://www.dieseltruckresource.com/forum...-sticky-102027/
