Randy good thing you wasn't in it , back trouble then . Looks like the rear bumper saved it from a lot worse .

Yeah, Bobby, I'm definitely glad I wasn't in it!!! It's funny, I've hated that back bumper since I bought the truck but it came in handy this time.
I'm haggling with the insurance co. over what is going to be done about it. I took the bumpers off today to get a better look. The frame is not bent but the left I-beam is. It would be easy to straighten or just get another one at the salvage yard. The rear quarter is the most challenging part but I've found an end cap so the rest just be pulling the panel out and attaching the new part. New bumpers are repop and easy to get.
I've given them the terms the I feel would be best for all concerned but I haven't heard back from them yet. We'll see what happens.....
