I was working on the current project this morning and found something very troubling. The "B" pillar on the drivers side is trash, but was hidden under 1/2 inch of fiberglass and bondo. This thing waves bigger than some I have seen on a ocean, it looks like some severe accident in the past and a quick fix. Now to the question, 1) do I pull the dents as well as I can with a stud puller (which I would have to buy) or do I find a donor and cut the "B" pillar out of it and weld it back into mine? I was thinking of cutting a roof seam and just above the body line at the cab, even with the drip rail. Is there a better way than either of these???

Try the paint and body section.
You could always cut it out, and chop that top.

Do you have any photos that would help. It depend on how bad it is you don't have to use a stud puller could always just use a slide hammer. But if you want to buy a stud puller and don't use it alot Harbor Frieght has them for around $80 I bought one and it works fine.

I would replace the pillar, pulling the dents could be difficult as the pillar is fairly heavy material.

Thanks guys for answering, the panel had been pulled on before with a slide hammer and the metal is stretched I don't think it will hold shape if I do get it back....
