Wrecked 97 F250 7.3

I was hoping to get some pictures of the engine compartment, radiators ect. I bought this truck wrecked. I was supposed to have help putting it together, but now trying to figure it out on my own. This is a huge puzzle for me and if anyone has some pics they could send me it would help me out greatly to see how everything goes back together. Thanks everyone.

I'll start with a top view if that helps. This is the engine compartment shortly after I got it. If you are a bit more specific on what your are looking for I'm sure the group here can help ...

This truck looked like it hit a tree dead center. The headlights were still intact but it pushed the engine and trans back approx 3". I replaced the moter and trans mounts, and water pump. I do need the fan clutch assm. I bought a new core support inner cooler, trans cooler and Radiator from a junk yard. Just having troublke seeing how everything goes back together. I tried adding pics but I am not able to get them on here.

Thanks Jim,
It does help. I am trying to firure out how the trans cooler bolts on I have tried it a few different ways but with no success. It is almost like I have the wrong core support, but I know that is not the case. The radiator fits just fine in it. I am not sure if I was supposed to put in the trans cooler in the core support before I installed the Radiator? Any pics will help and thank you!

Did it hurt the exhaust? I would look at the down pipe and the back of the turbo to see if there are any damage there.

Did you get to see it run?

Ouch! When it pushed back what happened to the driveshaft? Did it break the trans/t-case?
