Bed header warp STRAIGHTENED! Video #1527351 11/26/2023 2:59 AM

Lugnutz 'Bolter L Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 2,951 South Carolina	The bed header panel was warped towards the cab when I bought this truck. The rear cab glass was cracked with a nice dent in the back of the cab. All evidence that someone didn’t tie down the payload properly. I had a body man fix the rear wall of the cab. I replaced the rear glass with one from a 1961 cab. Now that I’m fixing the bed, it’s time to straighten the header panel. I used a car hydraulic floor jack and the arms of my shop lift.
