John, I am sorry to see that.
Looks like you hit froze over mud.

IMO you should get big brush guard if you drive on roads like that, rather than a factory bumper to replace yours with.

That reminds me of the damage to my Dad's 75 camper special, but in that case, the lamp post lost and the truck limped home on its own power.

Glad you are ok and I think the truck will be fine. Sheet metal is easy to replace, people aren't.

Just make sure the title is clean and not a salvage title.

Dang, that sucks. Looks like you shouldn't have any problem getting the parts you need though.

Kenpobuck,
Hey a gray grille is better than a smashed grille lol. Im not at all picky about color of parts or anything. If its not blue, then i guess the truck will be a 2 tone for a while lol
