Cab damage

Damaged directly behind my rear door passenger side I’m wondering if the whole cab is to be replaced or if it can be pulled out and restored somehow.

 

Pics please.

 

Worst case that area would be cut out and a replacement welded in. Pics would help. More than likely it will be pulled and bondo applied.

 

Brutal! Sorry to see it happen to you. Um, wanna tell the story?

 

Oh shit! Well, definitely getting a rear door skin, bedside and yeah that can corner will be pulled or cutout and that section replaced. Find a good shop and good luck with the repair.

 

Pulled and restored.New door and box/bed.

 

You will get a new door (take the interior door panel off to see if the crash bar is bent if is they have to replace it because it then becomes a liability issue for a futur crash if some one was to get hurt), bed side, they may put in for a cab corner? But no way I would change it. A lot of factory spot welds and seams would be opened up and rust down the road if not properly epoxied and undercoated. If I were doing that I would pull it to get the jamb and edge back then a relief cut on the face for the stretched metal and weld it up. How is the composite part of the bed?

 

Come on man with weird damage like that we need the story

 

Totaled

 

Dang! Did you make Coneheads mad

 

He’s not telling the story, so we will guess. Bison attack.

 

Damn getting some mixed reply’s I’m just hoping that the body shop can fix it. I worry about the cab damage right there behind the door. I really hope it can be pulled and fixed.

 

That’s exactly what happened

 

I’ll take the truck off of your hands free of charge to you.

 

30 grand all yours

 

My guess is it started like this....

 

That's relatively minor damage in the grand scheme of things. Any decent body shop won't have any problem repairing that.

 

I don't think this one is gonna buff out...
