Working on the running boards required building a press to reform the ribs back into shape. Also needed to burn up a bunch of welding wire patching rust holes and thin spots on the tops of the ribs. Built an end for my slide hammer from a ball bearing to straighten the top roll of the bedside. Drove it in to the tight depth to use as an anvil to get the dent out. I also built a prying tool from some scrap steel for straightening the edges of the running boards.
