Little Accident
Should I repair or replace?
  My dad backed into my truck this morning... he didnt scratch his truck though(98 Silverado LWB Ext cab diesel) We will probably just fix it, but if I decide to replace it whats a good site to get the bedside from?

it looks like the bottom of the bed is creased... but it is only one large dent. i would say try and pull it out and go from there.

Since bedsides are not cheap...and it can be difficult to find clean ones, I would try and fix it as well.
FYI, .jpgs are smaller in size compared to .bmp...and they load quicker too.

Looks like you can pop 75% of it out with a suction cup puller.
