While moving from Washington to Arizona I was transporting my 55.2 on a flatbed trailer behind my F-350 on the highway; a guy in Nevada ran a stop and t-boned me. I went off the right shoulder, somehow hooked it and crossed the center line and off the left shoulder; fortunately no significant injuries to anyone. I had four brand new 3300 lb axle tie down straps securing the Chevy to the flatbed; two of the straps on the right side broke, and the truck partially came off the trailer on the left side. The broken straps were found on the right shoulder of the highway.
Question: There is visible damage to the right side of the cab, per the attached photos. Probably other damage as well. Left rear cab corner and left kick panel damage, left rear fender, and bed damage. Seems like the cab damage occurred when the truck came partially off the trailer and the cab hit the trailer fender/tires. Does the cab look repairable? Weld in a new cab corner and kick panel? Considering the tie down straps broke, I'm concerned about frame damage as well. Let me know your thoughts?
Thanks,
Geoff
