Given the circumstances, I would insist on being made whole, without ANY compromise to the quality or originality of the bike.

Since your LBS cannot "undo" the paint damage (even a Cycle art quality repaint would devalue the bike) nor replace the fork from stock, I would have them write an estimate for replacement of the damaged components by sourcing another identical parts bike, in exactly the same color and condition.

PS - It is extremely probable that your frame is bent. Normally a frame does not tangle it up with a TRUCK and survive unscathed. However- some LBS's are incapable of determining if a frame is bent - much less repair one. (I learned this the hard way.)
