Joe, if you retain the salvage and it never leaves your name, it will not have a branded title here in Texas. Do you have reciepts for everything on the truck. Anything like tires, maintainence, etc. to raise the value of the truck to keep it from totalling. Most insurance companies will total the vehicle at 70-75% of the retail value of the truck. Get the value increased, and then let them pay the 70%. I would then get the truck fixed on your own, and pocket the extra $$$. BTW, I think I have a core support up here that will work.
