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.

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"
