Changing Bedside on 2003 2500HD shorty - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My son managed to perform a turning-radius experiment in the high school parking lot with my 03 2500HD and a Honda Accord bumper corner.
The body shop guy scratches his head says they could change the quarter-bedside or fix that panel, but their work is slow and they could start on it today. Then he recommends fixing that panel *my interpretation= give his guys more hours. (they wanted $1750.00 to fix it)
I would rather change out the panel myself. I would use a factory GM skin.
Anyone drilled out the welds and changed one of these skins themselves?
I figure to remove the bed and put on sawhorses. Thanks!
