The rims are probably what costs the most to replace. . . I know I claimed 2 on my insurance and they were $800 for 1 front and $600 for 1 rear

Honestly, the car looks fixable..
I wouldn't want it back though, unless the sheet metal was replaced.

Pix really don't do justice. I had on lift yesterday with failed attempt using sawzall to remove the y-pipe for my cutout 4 blades and 30min later no luck...but looks like rear suspension was messed up as well. I can't tell what's actually broke or bent but both wheels on that side stayed in same bent angle when off the ground. I wanted to pull headers, fwi, and ls1 intake but my bud with his gxp also failed to come thru I told $800 he could have with his stock parts in exchange smdh

What kind of shape were the other 2 wheels in? If you do end up able to get any parts let me know.

Didn't you just finish getting your trans built? Make sure you get compensated for that in the settlement.

What are you going to replace it with?

itd be worth it to part that ****** out or at least give a heads up what salvage yard its going to so we can try and buy parts. i know on grandprixforums GXP parts sell pretty fast and a tip for the saw zaw you have to keep steady pressure with the end as your cutting if you cant get all the way just unblot the down pipe the whole exhaust drops REALLLY easy.

Dont have pix of the truck but it's 2013 Silverado 6.2 CC

The other two wheels were great condition had waxed them with the car. I will find out what yard it will be at. I wasn't able to get the stuff off it due to my short window of time being full-time college and full-time employed. I just sent receipts for trans and other parts as well.

The money would be great to part it I agree, but living at home with parents they don't want that **** sitting in the driveway or anywhere near the house. The headers, fwi, and ls1 manny are still on the car.

Any chance the insurance company is sending it to auction?
