Sorry to hear about the truck, pictures must be brutal, Good to hear everybody is okay.
Today I did my very own front bumper test. really messed up outside plastic chrome bumper. Was going up a bridge and all I could see was brake lights ahead of me, so I slowly braked, and before I knew it the trail blazer was stopped ahead of me, skidded into her doing ~20, she had a hitch with no ball. I felt less bump than the bumper cars at disney world.

Hood does close all the way, I was just looking at the radiators, which were uneffected. Lights still work too.
you can see I did swerve to the left, but...bridge concrete barrier was there so...
when the officer got there they wanted us to move off the bridge (people were swearing at us going by on the 1 open lane, and the cops being there didnt stop them)
when the officer saw my truck and asked if i could get it to the bottom of the bridge I just started it up and gave it a little rev.
