Alright i have an update. This weekend a guy is coming to pick up my old bed. now i can go get the new one and put it togther and put it on the truck. then in 3 weeks or so im getting some sweet 8 bolt rims so then i can put the 3/4 under it and get the 1/2's out. then move to suspension

My new bed! No bondo, and little rust and what is rust is just surface rust, no holes or anything using the sides and the black beds floor. these will be a lot easier to fix than my old ones.

i think that dent should come out pretty easy. no creases. i thought maybe seeing if he could get to it from the back side and push out?

i havnt tried anything. i didnt really wanna f it up more until i knew forsure. what one do you think would work better??? try a plunger or push it out from the inside?

homewrecker john · January 23, 2011, 12:01:31 AM

the plunger you wouldnt have to take off any panels....problem with pushing from the inside is if you push to hard you might leave an outward dent.

Blazin40s · January 23, 2011, 03:25:16 PM

Try a good plunger 1st....way easier and if id don't work yer out like 2 min.

marshall · January 23, 2011, 03:30:14 PM

i vote for pushing from the inside, plungers are for toilets!

using plungers for non creased dents have saved me lots of work threw out the years. try the plunger first.
