Cool My F-150 Project

I recently bought a 1985 F-150 4x4 4sp 300 6cyc truck, a tree fell on it during a tornado on 3/2/12 and soon i will begin the process of getting it back on the road, im not going to be putting alot of money in the truck so it wont be pretty when im done, LOL just fixing it up to drive to work, and play

You could try a bumper jack under the inside lips of the bed, and a big hammer on the outside,
it ll be ugly, but it either moves, or rips apart, it might be eaiser and safer to replace the cab, or atleast the roof, you d need a welder an someone who can use it well, but it would save time.
300 4speed, sweeet.
