Hey guys well as yall can see this truck would be considered totalled. This is the first truck my dad ever bought zero miles from ford and well it isnt just a truck anymore it is part of our family. I drove the truck for about a year when i was starting off and now my brother has been driving the truck for about two years and now this.......... happens. Basically this truck has alot of sentimental value for all of us as a family. And my dad does not want to scrap it or part it out. Do yall think that it is restorable??? Money or time will not be an issue, i have talked to my dad and it doesnt matter if it takes ten years to fix the truck if its fixable he is willing to do so. We as a family want it back! So what do yall think?

You'd have to replace basically that whole side's panels and rims and then re paint the whole truck to make it match. It's possible but really those trucks go for so little on CL now you could find one with no body damage, repaint it, put those rims on it, and be done. Sorry about your loss tho.

We thought about doing that but it really wouldn't make any sense to do so since it wouldnt be the same truck.
As long as there is no major frame damage (doesn't look like it, at most some rear end damage) it should be fixable. If that happened to my truck I would fix it. I say go for it. You cannot replace sentimental.
It really doesn't look totalled to me. New doors, fender, bedside, and new wheels.
the doors migth just need some paint unless the wont open, brakes and maybe a new differential if the axles that messed up, you dont know what the internals might look like

They're bent not scratched it looks like. It's be easier and cheaper to just bolt on new doors if he's fixing it himself.
