Repair bedside estimate

[COACHMEASON]

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

Do it yourself... You can do it

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...

couple of hundred bucks, for a "good" body man.

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..
