Do you have any pictures of the trucks front end damage?
I have cut sections out, hammered them straight, and welded them back in before. Here is one where I cut out a flattened area on the lower rad. support, straightened it out with hammers & dollies, then welded it back in.

It doesn't look like much is some of the photos, but the passenger side of the core support had been pushed back to the frame. Fender was into the door also....
