should I fix the damage first?

cool. then I will def fix it before I go hacking it up...thats what I needed to know..thanks man

one more thing gavin...to do the pull and body work, plus shaving the damn fender flare holes and gas door about what would you charge at your shop? I am thinking now about taking it to a shop and want to know a estimate of how much I will drop..thanks again :

i wouldnt have paid 260 for that bed. its pretty much scrap unless your know what ur doin. for the 2g it would have cost for a MINT bed, you mite have that in this one b4 you b/d it.

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

is this a good way to do this? dont wanna keep this thread dragging on but I wanna make sure I do it right...any more advice guys?

ANYONE???

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.

also beer helps.

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...

FIXED....
