Bed repair or replacement?????

can this bed be repaired or should I look for a replacement? Where would I even find one?

 

If you try to repair it yourself you might get it close. I speak from minimum experience and that I cant ever get it perfect. You can pay a shop and they will feather the paint and get it close to perfect. The one thing I can speak of absolutely would be that you can find the whole bed on Craigs List.

 

I'm sure if you took the wheel off you could get in there with a rubber mallet and pound the dent out, make it look decent.

 

It's Dead Jim, it's creased and will be very hard to get bumped out without causing wrinkling elsewhere. Cut out and weld in replacement skin or reskin the entire side or replace bed entirely.

 

fixable for sure. Pull it out with a slide hammer and a stud welder. carefully hammer down the high spots. bondo, primer, repaint. getting the paint to match will be the hardest part.

EDIT: I didn't see how it rolled under on its self by the wheel. Might not be fixable, but definitely worth a try.

 

leave it busted who cares
