I am gonna just straightn what I can of the floor and rear section of the bed. And when I b/d it i will re-skin the fukd up side. that way I know it will be straight. Hopefullly thatll work

build a stand and ancor the bed to it. or put it on the truck and pull it on there(but if you ahve to cut a hole, its point less) your best bet mite to be just go ahead and body drop it cuz it dont look like the bedside is kinked. if it is then your gona have to pull it somehow.

true true...lol. well I was just thinkn about b/d the bed and reskining the messed up bedside in the process. running cross supports from each side of the floor to ensure nothing moves out of line. and before reskining just straighten out the rear floor where it wrinkled.....then grab a cold one...
