Ouch, HARD hit, huh?

Your bedside (make that BED) is done fella, wouldn't be surprised a bit if your frame is twisted up under there a bit too.
No one was killed or seriously injured, that's what really matters in the end. All the rest of that stuff can be repaired or totally replaced.

Good Luck.

Oh, did the bed tap the cab too? That is pretty common in hits like that.

i was driving around 55 km/h followin my buddy to a party and a red dakota in front of him jammed on his breaks for no apparent reason causein my buddy to stop abruptly i barely missed him managed to stop inches from his suv.. split second later a ford escape tryin to beat a yellow ligjht that i just passed through slammed into the back of me. his suv was my fender about 8 inches from my tire, the cab was dented pretty good. the impact pushed me into my buddies SUV smashin his back window and pushin in his tailgate

And not one drop of bondo either. I know some insurance companies will want it fixed even if bondo is used but all you need to say is "My truck had no bondo when YOUR customer hit me"
