    Hey guys, my truck got swiped by another truck with a cattle guard and I was wondering if i should even try dent repair, or trying to get a replacement door?
    Pictures should be attached, and any advice is always helpful.

    Fender can be fixed. Door cheaper/easier to replace and paint match.

    I would change door. It can be repaired but all it would end up with down the road is probably a rusted repair. Can't really access damage area like I would want to . Box of door and front of panel become a plastic door probably with to many holes if body guy goes for easy way. :(
