Re: Changing Bedside on 2003 2500HD shorty

Chuck it's hard to say whether you'd be better off repairing your panel or replacing it without seeing it. Myself I'd rather have a new straight panel, knowing full well even new panels quite often require some bodywork too.
As far as drilling the spotwelds out it is a very time consuming job. Drilling and spotwelding the new panel as well. Having the right tools for the job makes any job easier.
