WTB: ~2001 prerunner front clip

I've had my Tacoma for a little over 2 years now and it has been an awesome truck. I had a '97 4x4 before this one and ended up trading it in for lower miles/better gas mileage for a new job. Ends up, I fell asleep commuting last week, drifted off the road, and rear ended a dump truck. The dump truck sat high enough where my frame went right under it, so all of the damage was sustained to the passenger side fender/radiator. The air bags did not deploy, but thankfully I was not injured in the accident, (I've been in a couple bad wrecks, one in a Tacoma and one in a 4runner and I owe my life to luck with help from Toyotas design and ruggedness). Anyway, the suspension is strait, and the engine is fine. I've had it in 2 body shops and both have quoted me well over half the cost of the truck to fix ($7100+). I've had the frame measured twice and it's been confirmed that there is no damage to the frame or suspension; I can't believe how expensive some sheet metal, a radiator, air box etc could get. The body shop guys tell me that a 2001 front end is going to be nearly impossible to find and will likely cost more then buying new parts. I don't know if I should salvage the truck and sell it, due to the prices or if there is even a viable alternative. Can anyone give me some advice/inspiration on this situation?
The truck is a 2001 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner 2.9L with 70k miles
The parts I would need off the top of my head: hood, grill, front bumper, radiator supports, passenger headlights, radiator, fans, passenger side inner and outer fender, air box, washer fluid assembly, etc. The inner fender is what I'm worried about and I don't believe I have the welding experience to take on (im not a mechanic, but can do pretty much everything except for weld and paint).

I'll get some pics and the body shop quotes posted asap.
