It is most likely fixable but if you get hit at a angle hard that is very hard on these cars especially with a pointed bumper and the shocks not stretched out.

Corner shots, regardless of the car or bumper are going to be really hard on the equipment. I’ve ruined many a GM making the same hit as you took. I took a hit like that once with a shocker though too, kinked bad in front of the a arms, I ended up pulling it back straight and plating it. I couldn’t get it completely back straight but still made it work.

The axle was the worst part you couldn’t get out of the way

Yeah definitely first hit and it was broke I was just a sitting duck at that point think it would’ve been a different story if I hadn’t of broke but I blew up my posi 3 days before and a spool was all I could get my hands on

I know not a lot of activity here.. but figured I'd ask. Opinions on swapping my LS and TH400 setup in a stock new yorker vs running the factory 400? Stock body mounts, not sure how the LS will fit.
