You guys know any tricks for straitening the bed behind cab of the truck??
Mine was smashed in enough to rub the cab on occasion when I bought it.
I managed to use a 2x4 to get it off the cab , but would like to straiten it out.

Thanks

Even thought about taking it off and adding a light weight flat bed if I could find one.

 

Mine is bowed toward the cab too from a hard stop with a Chevy torque converter in the bed that wasn't strapped down. I thought I got rear ended until I saw the transmission fluid on the rear window. Mine isn't touching the cab though.

I would say take the bed off and lay a 4x4 on the bend then get happy with a sledge hammer. Is the bend on the front of the bed or on the outside of it? I am thinking it's on the front from something sliding in the bed.

 

I would find a nice size tree back up to it wrap a chain around it and hook on a come a long > on either side of the creased area of the back of the bed drill thru with a eye bolt on each side using large washer for strength. put a chain between the 2 eye bolts and the attch the come a long. then start cranking on the come a long slowly till it has pulled the bed away from the cab. Just a thought

 

hmmm, Yep fer sure on the front,,
That *** along sound like a good Ideer ,,

 

Mine gets bent there from hauling my wheeler around with a tire wedged in front of it to keep it off the window, but I can just grab it and yank it back straight. A former member here (Miami_Son) and maybe some others have welded or bolted some metal across the front of the box to stiffen it up, this is what I plan to do with mine...

 

Say maxx,,
I like that tread pattern on those uniroyals ,, where you get em?

 

Thanks hb, but those are actually BF Goodrich A/T's, got em of kijiji for half price with only 1000kms on em!

 

mine was bent pretty bad after the locking of the brakes with a 4cyl Pontiac in the bed i used a *** a long and a tree to straighten mine out. a lil redneck but it worked

 

You shouldn't be carrying Pontiacs around with ya

 

I would tel you guys what Pontiac stands for,, but will with hold my racial comments
