I have some photos of the damage to my truck. Just wonder if it's fixable:

Nope. Can't be fixed. I think your only reasonable option is to drive that truck down here to me and I'll take it off your hands, good riddance.

You'd have to come up here... I don't have vacation time. Sorry.

My biggest concern is the pillar. I'm afraid to peel away the crap to see the actual damage...

Most body shops would fix the pillar with a "cut" from another truck. From the roof to the floor. If the door inner structure is not hurt, then they can usaually be skinned, otherwise your looking at a door shell.
