Bummer. Can you post some of the sad pictures for us? Also, where are you located. That will help us/you find parts in your area.

After taking it apart I found that aside from the radiator support (at the headlight bucket mounting area) being smashed, the damage is not that bad. All I need is a pass fender, the lower panel under the grill(not the little valance thing on the bottom), headlight bucket, hood, turn signal light, and the chrome plastic headlight bezel. Gotta love the LUV... fricken blinker is smashed but still works!!! OH YEAH BABY

Tried to upload pics but it says file too big..... will work on this issue.... anyone know how to shrink a photo file???

there's a 1976 Chevy luv here in Spokane junk yard (pull and save) that had the entire front clip (as of Friday) hood, fenders, lights, grill everything you need...the best part is all the bolts are already broken loose

haynsling use ms paint and change the photo format from (.bmp -> jpeg) save as and select file format.. if not email me the photos jgilk1@msn.com and ill upload them via photobucket
