    Should be appraised tomorrow. My cuz is a body shop guy and he thought maybe $4-6k in damage. It will be fixed regardless.

    Doorsill damage is hard to repair. Can't tell if the B-pillar is deformed. Both will require pulling on a rack. Make sure you go to a good shop.

    I'd be crying like a baby if anything happened to my Toy! Yes, its just a thing and can be replaced (hypothetically) but I've gone to too many awesome places and met too many awesome people all because of my truck. Having something bad happen to the truck would be a horrible blemish on all of those great memories.

    Your priorities are not messed up. We are truck enthusiasts. That was your baby.

    You are allowed time to grieve. My condolences, sir.

    My condolences. You spent a lot of time and money on that sweet truck,
    and to be hit like and to be very lucky that your okay, survivor guilt.

    Find a good garage, and least 3, and get your insurance company on top of
    this quickly.

    I hope for the best for your truck...
