Default Body Shifted

Looks like the rear half of the body has, after the post-flight inspection, shifted somewhat.
Did some unplanned off-roading. Appears that I jumped two, possibly three, culverts. Broke beads on all four tires, front wheels busted, front axle housing bent, yada yada. Was definitely airborne according to one witness. Wish I could remember, was knocked out cold. Could see the tracks the next day.
Have the frame alignment drawing (rrc) but haven't checked it yet. Frame looked ok and the body mounts seemed alright as well. Kinda looks like the cargo area squatted down a bit. Will check alignment of frame before I go crazy.
Anyhoo, my question is how hard is it going to be massaging the body back into the place?
It still starts up and runs fine.
Attached a few pictures.

Oh wow, I’m glad you’re still well enough to be trying to fix it. It sounds like a pretty serious accident.
