We got the front clip removed and found a few surprises. Looks like it was hit in front drivers side corner, not so bad. Rusted where bottom rear of fender bolts to cab, guess this is fairly common. Can I get replacement sheetmetal for that area? Where is the best place to get the sheetmetal parts like rockers and floorpan sections? Also noticed a strange upward bend in the frame on the passsenger side. Anyone know why the frame would be bent there and how does a guy go about fixing that? See pics.
