I had rear ended someone this morning and the person had slammed on there brakes because someone in front of them decided to make a sudden stop in middle of the road. and the cop gave a citation for following to close

from the pic it looks like all you need is a bumper and grille but its all about the frame if no frame damage then there no need for a body shop really

glad your ok.

you will need new bumper brackets as well as a new bumper, etc, just like Jake stated.

also, check your frame horns where the brackets mount to make sure they are straight. if you mount the new brackets, and the frame horns are bent, your gonna have a fun time trying to get the bumper on....trust me, been there.

I'm thinking about doing a face lift to it anyways and get some stuff painted. and I don't think it will cost to much to get it fixed. and one of my friends own a junk yard so i can get some parts from another vehicle

Wouldn't be surprised if your fenders are bent at the apex as well, happened to both of mine when I had someone turn in front of me and hit them. They going to try and total the truck?
