truck bed dented
Hey all-
I took my toolbox off the truck the other day, and found the front of my bed bent so bad it is touching the cab wall. I think I might have to pull the bed off to pop it back into shape. It is a surprisingly thin and flexible area, I guess that's why it caved in so bad. I bought this truck new, and I think it must have been a loose propane tank that did the damage. Wonder if anyone else has had this happen, and how they got it straightened out. Also any tips on pulling the bed. Never done that before. Look forward to hearing from anyone

I fixed my old truck's bed by taking a thick rope, bringing half over the bed and half under the bed and grabbing both ends and yanking it with my foot on the rear bumper.
A little hard to explain but it worked. A desk slid and dented the bed in.
