My business vehicle was totaled, but I bought it back from insurance.

Hi,

My work truck had a tree fall on it at my house from a storm.  It was damaged to the point the insurance company totaled it,  but it was still drive-able and plenty road safe so I bought it back from them.  How do I report this on my taxes?  Should I list it as sold and that I bought another vehicle for the buy back price I paid?  I had taken a section 179 on this truck the year I bought it and have had it for 6 years.

 

Thanks in advance!
