Just a note: IF you definitely want to keep this truck.
If they total your truck, you can just take the money, and you can get your truck back for the price of salvage. Then, use that money to fix it. Not sure exactly how it works in your state, but I did that in NY on a trailer.
MAKE the deal BEFORE you sign it off ... don't go back after and try to buy it.
A woman hit my trailer, her fault. Insurance totaled it, wrote me a check. As part of my sign off, I bargained that I get the trailer back, and I towed it home (600 miles). Spent the money fixing it right, had some left over, and still have it.
