Let's hope. My back and neck have been getting tight since about 8:00
but I'm prone to that just from stress, and I think this qualifies.
We'll see how things are in the morning.

I thought it looked pretty bad but then again, my scale of "mess" and
"not bad" is different (as this is my only transportation & my first
wreck). Radiator seems OK, I cracked the overflow tank. Hooks look OK.
I don't see any obvious frame damage but hey, what do I know? I was
under it with a flashlight on a creeper in ratty house clothes at 9:30.

(took a new batch later in the evening). I'm hoping I can talk the body
shop into hooking me up with the steel cowl induction hood "while we're
at it" since the price won't be hugely different from OEM. Luckily I
show the truck to them before the insurance company but because of timing.
