Damaged frame I believe, right?

I can get this 4.8is for cheap but is it worth anything? As far as I know if I fix it and sell it I have to disclose if the frame was damaged and I believe this looks like a frame damage.

Yes, probably just worth the value of the engine and tranny.

Since the wheels got whacked hard from the state of the rims, I would be a little suspicious of the suspension, axles, etc.

260k km, so not much life left in either transmission or engine.

Hard to tell what happened to it. Looks like it ran over something and landed on the frame. Might be worth having a body guy take a look.

Might be ok. Looks like all the plastic is destroyed. Obviously the rim is shot. Most likelly control and other suspension stuff.

Yup, the running boards are destroyed and the metal frame part where the plastic running boards are mounted are also bent and that's why I believe this qualifies as a 'frame damage'.

These are unibody trucks. The only frame on these trucks is the engine frame and the rear suspension frame. You will need to get the body on a jig and pull the body back to specific points. Unless you are a body shop with this type of equipment, it's not worth buying to flip. Since this was a write off by the insurance company, it probably been reported to CarFax.
