Killed my truck

2 weeks ago...had a bad night...long story short - ball joint went..I continued on driving...bout 5 miles later tire blew off...kept driving...drove on the rim for about 10miles blowing sparks down rt 138...till I got pulled over by the cops.

anyways.......................

got my truck back the next day...

had to get flatbedded to my parents house...

the truck has been sitting there doing absolutely nothing but drive my father insane..I am w/o a vehicle too....

(yeah i learned my lesson) I feel like the biggest f%^%^%^ idiot.

Point of this thread is...

can you tell if this thing is shot - dead - not worth fixing?

im worried about the frame section here (circled) which looks torn.

I havent been able to get a decent mechanic down to look at it b/c the one guy i know is always busy...and its a far drive to gansett for him...

maybe someone here is or knows someone locally in gansett who could come check it out (mechanics) ill give you some $ for your time.

pm me or respond here if you think you can help..

thanks
