mata4 Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Well I have a 77 620 with a big dent on the right hand side behind the passenger door and dents on the back corners of the bed along with the tailgate. Any suggestions on how to remove these dents. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 That pic tells me nothing about the dents. chances are theres nothing you can do yourself that arnt going to make them more fucked. if you want to try and save them without paint and body look into local PDR (paintless dent repair) Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Could try to pop it with heat and canned air... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=y9OGa9vB42Q Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Just reaching under there and pushing it out would be better. Perfect will require paint etc. Quote Link to comment
Dolomite Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Chances are just hamfistedly pushing on it will crack the paint. If you want the paint to stay like it is, listen to skib. The dent behind the door is pretty bad, it involves a fairly rigid style line, it won't come out all the way with pdr but it would look a lot better. Quote Link to comment
sebpv Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 if you do it yourself, be prepared to either polish/buff or paint. I bouth a pdr kit from ebay and am not experienced enough to bring back the sheet to perfect... Quote Link to comment

2wheel-lee Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 I know that place....AM/PM parking lot at the corner of Artesia and Vermont in Gardena. Nice to see another local, though your profile says you're from San Diego. Was that taken at the 6/20 event? Nice truck! Sorry, no help otherwise. I'd try to push it out the dent in the front lower bed panel by hand, but I don't much success because of the body line. Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Where the dent is in a crease, or a body line, the impact has caused the metal to stretch and shrink in that area. A paintless dent removal technique will not work there. Some metal work is needed to reform the crease, by shrinking the stretched areas, and shrinking the stretched areas. Quote Link to comment
