I recently hit a phone pole and it did some damage. Wondering how much some parts will cost. on the axle where the brake line goes in is cracked, how much does that cost? where the front leaf springs hang on the rear of them the little brackets are all bent so my wheels are sticking out on one side. the air box thing and the blower fan were both crushed and the cab is pushed in a litttle. the frame seems to be slightlt bent on the passenger side because one rivet head is boken off. please help me with figuring this out
 
Sounds like it's new truck time. Its repairable (possibly) with the right equipment, but its almost guaranteed you'll be $$ ahead buying a different truck. Even if it needs a new driveline, you can swap your current one in.
 
Turn away now and run as fast as you can. Hang around this site long enough and you will be replacing way more than the parts that are broken:D
 
can that one part of the axle be replaced?

yes it can be replaced with a junkyard unit, but like everyone will be saying, the money you spend fixing the cab, and the frame alone will probably be as much money as you spend on a cheap driver that you can swap everything over to... Sure you can fix it, but to do it right will cost a fortune, just go with another truck and use your old one as a parts truck.
 
Frame damage = big expense. I'd find another truck with a bad engine/tranny and swap yours in (assuming it still runs.)

When he has parts on the firewall that are bent or broken from a pole, chances are there is more damage he has not yet incountered.
Scrap it and find another to swap parts to.
