The best way to fix that is to replace the whole pannel that way you get rid of that rust at the same time. the rust you see there is only the begining I've fixed many of those trucks if you were to cut that pannel off you would see that the rust is all the way up to that body line. I personally wouldn't spend the money to have it fixed if I wasn't gonna fix the rust too. ==2cents

cant be bumped out and look good, it appears creased....

panel replacement time....

but on the cheap side... pull out the interior.. get out a DEADBLOW hammer... or a rubber mallet to give it a few wacks to knock it out.
