Re: "Wrecked" 33k SGT #253 Hollywood CA
It will have a branded title regardless if it runs or not. The fact that the truck has been deemed a total by the insurance company is what decides that. There are plenty of cars that are totaled that still run.
As far as fixing it goes- You can get the non specific SGT parts cheap if you would be willing to accept the aftermarket parts stigma. If you were to replace them with OEM parts then you would easily be triple the cost. The truck looks to have taken a hit low which could have more hidden damage that isn't visible in the pictures like the crank, crank pulley, or oil pan (there is a visible oil spot under the truck). That being said I think the truck should be an easy fix and would be an awesome truck for someone once complete. I would love to have it, but my wife would SHOOT me if I bought another vehicle that doesn't carry the entire family.
