hm, should be a pretty easy fix for a body shop really.

that bar is just a support that goes to the bedside.

your valence might be able to even be fixed iv they could somehow fix that tab. or you could probably sell it for cheap to someone on here lol.


oh and it looks freaking cold!!

Coming from a guy who worked paint and body and has done bedsides.. its an easy fix bud. I would say its going to probably run you close to $3500 to get all the damage shown fixed. I am figuring maybe $2000 for replacing the bedside, which, you could do yourself if you were good at spot welding. Its just time consuming. Nowhere close to totaled tho unless your truck is only worth 4k.

I know mine for example is all sheet metal. You just drill out those welds and the whole bedside will come right off.
