Default Body Damnage question

So my buddy in his Jeep Cherokee with a steel bumper cam into a snowy parking lot at a good speed and slid into my truck (top of my ****ty night)
He hit from cab from the door to the bed bottom of the cab part
pushed it in a good 1 1/2-2"
Question being do know how hard it would be to truck and knock it out im still in high school and im in automotive and i have buddies in auto body and think they can fix what i pop out just wondering if anyone has had this happen if not ideas on how hard youd think itd be
Ill just to get pictures later
Thanks

Actually its a real easy fix. Get your buddies insurance information, file a claim, then take it down to a body shop.

Check out a paintless dent repair place.

They do amazing work and extremely affordable. The area you have outlined would probably be under $100.00 for them to remove a dent from. They give free estimates, so you have nothing to lose to just go let them check it out. You will get much better results from a PDR guy than trying to bang it out yourself with a hammer.
