I’m originally from Michigan and if anyone got a deer and didn’t pick it up, the very next person did!
The only deer my father ever 'got' was pinged by my brother in a 1973 Subaru GL coupe on Christmas Eve in central Michigan. We found the still-alive deer the next day, and a state trooper shot it in the head 3 times with a 38 spl., (quite a sight for me to witness at a young age) and we tossed the whole deer in the back of the '72 Ford wagon. Gutted it at home in the garage on Christmas day. My mother (for sure) will never forget that adventure - she was somewhat appalled that 'THIS was how we spent Christmas day'.
Back to your regularly scheduled thread. I think having Classic Cruisers in Salida work on it would be your closest/best bet. I'm pretty sure they do this kind of repair, and you might be able to chip in some personal $$ and get more of the truck painted, as needed.
