Repair bedside estimate
Not a body man at all...Can someone throw an estimate at me about the general cost of getting this bedside in the "right" condition...there is a crease below the tailight, small dent in the wheel lip, and rust about the area where the carriage bolts to the floor...thanks

Re: Repair bedside estimate
for what a professional bodyman wold charge to straighten out a bedside, you could own all the tools needed and do it in the future again or sell the tools and cash up in the deal...
I decided to teach my self and but the tools... A stud welder and slide hammer would make it a pretty easy fix...A D/A air sander would be good to have too.. I bought the following in hope of attacing any bodywork project that comes my way: -Studwelder Kit from MotorGuard Corp. -Dynabrade 6" D/A -Hutchins 2000 longboard air sander -full set of DuraBlock snading blocks That is the only stuff I purchased that is really specific to body work...

Re: Repair bedside estimate
Its a long bed,you can get a decent one cheap.Just look and buy a good one.A shortbed is when you spend the money to fix but there is decent longbeds everywhere.
My 2 cents.. |
