I've searched some on the site and couldn't really find anything. Does anybody have any good tips or tricks to fix dents (some pretty big) in the side of a fleetside? I would really hate to cut holes in good metal to get to the bad metal!

questions should always include the year Ken, folks may not have noticed your other posts .... the only place on the 58/9 box that needs skill is the rocket, which can be straightened with the weld-on pin/puller technique - above and below is hammer and dolly work, accessible from both sides

The year is 1959 for the Fleetside bed, according to the previous owner. 90% of the metal work is on the "rocket" so I need to get the weld-on pin/puller set up it sounds like. That's what I was afraid of anyway.
