While driving on the ice with tire chains on one came loose and proceeded to beat the hell out of the bottom side of my rear wheel well. Was wondering if I should beat it out and bondo it or maybe find a truck with the side panel I need in good shape and cut mine out and weld it in? Or spring for a new bed side or new bed? Would prefer not to send 600-800 for a new bedside or 1500 plus for a whole new bed!!! Any Help would be appreciated thx

if the bed side panel is damaged, just replace it . it may glue on nowadays instead of welding. or replace the box with a used one. Plenty of those around as they are pretty much the same form 03-06
