I have used the heat shrink technique before. Definitely an amateur at it, but it has worked to eliminate oil canning. I want to explore other options first though - I don't want to make it worse. If I could figure out a way to push up the metal and hold it in place permanently, I would be happy.

Will this become your wife's truck? So much hard work put into it, i would hate to see you sell it now!
The recent photos certainly show that you have a good size shop to work in, well equipped too.
Keep up the good work, your progress is very motivating to the rest of us.
No, not a truck for the wife or for us to keep. Just a project for us - I'm sure we'll find someone that will enjoy it. But yes, the goal is to have it done this fall. It's my dad's shop and it's been such a great place to work on various projects over the years.
