Square body box crease

I probably will just leave it alone but would like to hear about how to fix this. And it's not going to the body shop so if I cant do anything about it then it will stay the same. I have a torch.. I have tools. But most likely I cant fix this.

Re: Square body box crease

You can see where the paint is missing. Because of the fold.

If you cant see the problem, maybe you should move on and not comment. You clearly have no answers.

Re: Square body box crease

Easy fix, push out on the bottom corner of the box and use a hammer and dolly to remove the crease. Just work slowly and don't try to force the corner of the box out more than it wants to go.

To be fair, your initial post was rather vague. You'll get a better response with sugar than piss and vinegar.. If someone asks for more details in the paint and bodywork forum, there's normally a good reason for it. How about just accommodate someone's request for more info and you may just find the answer you're looking for.




How does the bed profile align next to the cab? That's where any difference will show. perhaps make a profile template of the cab to get a good reading on how much (if any) that the front of the bed needs to move.


For moving, an axle puller hooked around that vertical upright, a hydraulic ram pushing from the underside, or if it were bolted down to the frame, perhaps a come-a-long pulling from a tree. Many ways to get it done, but it needs to match the cab.
