Hit a curb, possible damage?

I hit a concrete curb head on a few days ago... destroyed the front 2 tires and wheels. Nothing under the truck seems to be damaged, but I have not had a chance to drive it yet, waiting on new wheels and tires. Also, the bed seems to have been shifted slightly. It actually contacted the cab on the pass side, putting a small dent in the cab. Can the bed be re-aligned by loosening the bed bolts and repositioning? I appreciate any advice you guys can give!

Yes, that is how you would realign the bed. If you hit a curb that hard, you probably have some damage to the front end. At the very least the alignment was knocked out of whack.

Do you think it is possible that the frame was bent causing the bed to be knocked out of alignment?

you would have to hit the curb realy realy hard to bend the frame, i dont think it was hurt but you can take it to a colision center and they can check to make sure your frame is straight, good luck, i think it would have bent suspension components before it would bend frame
