Decided to start straightening the bed bullets so we can get the bed welded together. As you can see, the bullets are in bad shape especially the passenger side. This bullet is smashed in about 1/2" down the entire side. On the driver side there is a section about 3" long that is not smashed. Copied the radius and cutout a wooden buck thinking I could simply hit it with a hammer to recreate the radius. Did not work.






Ended up using dolly I rescued a few years ago from the recycle bin at my buddy's welding shop and a small sledge hammer. I beat the sheet metal with the dolly into the outside half of the wooden buck. Not smooth but gets me to a point where the filler will be less than 1/8".
