Insuring an antique isn't going to be easy, I expect (I have never insured mine, my truck has been in a garage that long).

The thing I stand by, as I have learned the hard way, is to ship body panels in wooden crates, insured on top of that. So shipping things to me is very expensive. Now there are lots of good parts in CA and since that is where you live, I would try and pick something up in person and haul it back home.

Put a "WTB" up in the parts forum and tell them what happened to you. Include your crash pic. Someone will come through for you. In fact, there is a junkyard in CA I have dealt with, I'll try and get you the number. They are on this forum though and may read your post. Excellent people.
