Yeah man, I'm sorry to say it but that looks totaled.
Sorry.
How much did you pay for it?
My brother paid about 3000 for his Nissan. When he hit a deer and it wrapped around the entire truck (rolled really) it destroyed the side and the insurance company totaled it. He got 2200, and drove it for another year before he bought his Ranger. So really only paid about 800.
Now I know you won't be driving yours after that (frames probably fucked) but if the insurance does total it and you get enough money, I would look into fixing it (providing the frames not tweeked/bent/broke). But only if you don't plan on selling it. Salvage titles are a bitch.
Another thing to consider is how much the costs of repairing it is vs how much it would cost to get a new vehicle. Don't include paint jobs. Sure your truck will look like crap with white body parts, but at least you will still have it.
Judging by those pictures, you may have damaged the engine. That's a big no no.
