When a vehicle is insurance destroyed, if you owe more than the value of vehicle, you are responsible for the balance owed. This would seem to be your situation, but you also want to retain the truck, which you are able to do. Now, as for the title, once the truck is repaired, it must be inspected by law enforcement, and declared to be roadworthy. They will want proof of parts used, receipts for all parts/labor. Once the inspection is complete, you have to have the truck retitled, as a salvage/rebuilt, and the lender will need to be a part of the process, as they hold the current valid title. When you pay off your loan, the title you receive will be branded salvage/rebuilt, and can never be a clean title again. As long as you make your payments and carry your insurance, your lender will be happy to work with you.
