Do you think a little Bondo and spray foam will fix this?

I had a mercury marquis in high school with a bad frame. Driving in the snow, you could see 4 tire tracks!

I was thinking what Nessmuck said, looks like you've got frame damage. There's more to the story obviously. No one hurt. I take it or at least not yet? That' was a nicer truck than I've got and newer. How much insurance is on it or are you paying out of pocket?

Good to see a young person with the initiative to fix something

Yep, air bags went off.

The frame is good except for the horn and where the radiator support bolts to the frame. Other than that, it's fine. Going to talk to a couple of guys about the best way to do it but so far we're thinking of just buying new parts, cutting the old ones off, and welding new ones on. The new radiator support body/frame mount is like 70$.

There's very little frame damage, nothing that should affect steering or going down the road or the like. No one's majorly hurt, one of my passengers sprained both of their ankles and my brother has a concussion. In my buddy's truck, they were all just banged up and sore. Me and him were the least hurt of the bunch. My truck has full coverage on it so it's fully paid for, so far, if we get the right parts truck, it will be fully paid for with very little money to spare.

Well you know, wet slick road. Buddy was messing around and I was coming home from the store. Buddy came into my lane and went head on so I went into his original lane to keep us from hitting head on, and he didn't realize I was moving over and he also came over. He then hydro planed and went sideways in front of me, which ended up having me T-bone him in his original lane. I think he was trying to play chicken with me or something but he won't say.

Nope, that's what's left of the good truck, not much but just enough that it's fixable.

It would have been a parts truck but to me, the truck has some sentimental value so I decided to keep it.
