Question
I recently accidently ran the drivers side cargo box into the garage. I cut the corner too sharp and caught the box right where it seperates from the cab. I was barely moving less than 5 mph. You should see the damage. The box is crimped from top to bottom. I can't believe the body damage. It crumbled like an aluminum can.  
The garage is reinforced poured concrete.
The garage is barely scratched, a little stucco repair and will be good as new. I'm worried about the truck. I wanted to keep it at least another 2 years. Everyone always compliments me on how great it looks for a 95. It's pretty much been garage kept. Is it worth repairing? Thinking about going to a local Maaco shop for an estimate. Any advice?

Answer
Estimates are free get as many as you like. If the truck is nice then it is more then likely worth fixing. I would guess that your truck needs a quarter panel on it and maybe some cab repair My guess $1200 to $2000.
