Wife crashed my truck and tweaked the frame
WIfe hit a guard rail post and trashed my 1996 toyota T100. I pulled the pass fender and bumper off and the front part of the frame is tweaked and carnige to the sheet metal under the airbox pushing it up. It's all spot welded metal that is warped and the headlight area is pushed in. Is this thing totaled or can it be pulled back into shape? no collision on this one so it's my pocket. Would like to have a shop get it straight and pulled back then Ill do the assembly stuff. Ill email photos as not working.

I see where the body mount is broken (fixable) and the bent sheet metal. The radiator support looks fixable but you can replace it, too.
A shop will always say yes...especially when it comes to money.
Where are you located? Maybe there's a Certifit near you to git aftermarket parts from? You can also use www.car-part.com to find used parts (local or shipped in) fairly easy. You might be able to find someone parting out their T-100 on craigslist as well.

Avoid certfit for radiator support
I bought a bunch of stuff from certfit after rolling my T. Turns out the radiator support panel they sell does not come with the cross member that the body mounts go to. Do not buy this part. I ended up getting it from the junk yard so it comes with the factory welded cross member and other stuff to hold on the grille.
If you can get the frame taken care of, you can do the rest yourself. I hope to have mine back on the road next month.

Thanks, looking for a yard with T100. You think the headlight area can be pulled back so I can mount the headlight correctly? it's pushed in but guess it cold be pulled out. Dan
