Okay, I got the right side of the bed semi-straightened out. It took a lot of pounding, twisting and pulling, followed by a bit of welding.
The lower portion behind the wheel well was in terrible condition as can be seen here:
I pounded as much out from behind as I possibly could. The bottom lip was dented upward so far that I had to use a crowbar to push it down. Then I used C-clamps to hold an 1 1/2" thick x 3" wide by 12" long piece of steel pressed up against the bottom to use as a dolly and hammered it straight (or close anyway).
Still need to media blast it, epoxy and then start the fine tuning.
I removed the rear bumper to gain some access to the tail light areas. This is the left side and you can see a major rip in the metal.
More indented metal:
Then we have these filling some trim holes:
All of the trim holes on the bed have been dented with a hammer and then filled with glazing putty or filler.
The top rail on the left side at the rear was bent downward and ripped the metal:
I used a pipe wrench to persuade it back into place:
Realigned and ready for welding.
Man, this truck is in rough shape. I tried to talk the owner into buying one already done (about 18k) and then selling this to recoup 8 grand but he likes this thing.
