Cargo Box Damage
Well, I made a small error while backing up with the camper on and now I have a bend in the rail at the top of the front of the box. The bend is not touching the cab but it's close. Anybody had any experience fixing this sort of thing....I don't want to see it everytime I look over my shoulder to back up ( if you know what I mean!).
Thanks

Just incase anybody cares....I took the truck to a body shop and they put a hook on it, pulled, and it popped back into place.....no charge! That box bulk head is really flimsy....I do beleive a length of angle iron tacked across the top is in order. Not impressed with the engineering there.

I got rear ended with the camper on the truck and the rail was bent and pushed forward to the point it was touching the cab. The body shop cut the tack welds and put a new piece in with a rail that was heavier than the original.
