I've been looking at buying a 2001 f150 7700 x- cab with the short bed (same as mentioned in the suspension forum) one thing however is the bed is...well..looks too used. the top of the wall nearest to the cab is bent out and I was wondering if there was a way to sorta bend it back without hurting anything. If I buy this truck I eventually want to put a spray on bed liner on it and i want it to look good. also the wheel wells are pretty well mashed, could i just take a hammer to them?

 

like bent towards the back window? my dad forgot we were carrying a pallet of manure and he hit the brakes at a yellow light...load smacked the front of the bed pretty good. i just pulled it with my hands back in line...it's not 100% straight, but it's damn near.

 

yeah, towards the back window.

 

give it a tug.

 

I would say look for another truck, the one thing bad about buying a 6 year old truck is that its a truck and most people will use it that way. Good luck finding one, they are out there.
