Kinda looks like they started taking more than the wheels off the truck before it was retrieved.

The missing dash pad and the driver seat dumped unceremoniously in the cab tells me you lost more than a few parts to the thieves at the salvage operation that "stored" it.
If the dash pad was FUBAR it would still be there crunched up on top of the dash.

I never let the tow trucks take a wrecked vehicle anywhere other than my property. I have a 10,000 lb trailer and a front end loader for moving severely damaged stuff like that truck around.
If the insurance company totals it and I don't buy it back... they have to get their property off mine in short order or pay storage fees.
