Back in the day when my uncle still owned the truck he backed under a tree and put a nice dent above the rear window where it curves into the roof. What I'm hoping to do is some hammer and dolly work to even it out as much as possible before I start smearing in filler.

The number of spot welds used to afix the inner skin to the cab can only be determined through advanced mathmatics. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 16 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 16 | Thanks Guys, is there some way to pull off the same sort of thing with a regular welder (mig,tig,stick)?
