    One less PT Cruiser on the road. Truly a selfless act. Thank you for your sacrifice.

    Check to make sure the frame is square and get a tailgate if it is. If not, I'd back half it

    Take it to a frame shop and check for straightness.

    More than likely your bed mounting points on the bed itself are bent

    I can’t believe a PT Cruiser kicked the crap out of your truck. Time to send it to the gym. Lift, locker, winch, supercharger, snorkel etc. Them PT’s won’t mess with you anymore....

    if i were you, i would spend the couple hundred bucks and let the guys at the frame job double check the frame is square have the piece of mind. If it checks out go for it.

    i bought a 2003 double cab once that was slightly hit in the front literally needed driver side fender and head light and bumper just because it was dented not because it was smashed and ended up having a a slight bend on the frame

    Yeah I’m seeing a guy about the frame early next week. Will be rocking in my chair until then.

    goto your local salvage yard with a big nasty hammer and crowbar (blow torches are usually not allowed) and find a PT Cruiser to beat the krap and put a hurt onto it
