Bed repair

Googled and posted in Body section ,no results
Passenger side toolbox section is pushed up 2-3"" at the rear .
Driver side has three dents where someone kept backing into it with his motor home spare tire mount (he is in heaven , so no recourse)
What is the best way to pull the toolbox back down in place .?
How about the dents in the bed ?
Anyone tried an air bladder to push them out ?
Open to ideas .

Post pics of the tool box.

Most of the small dents can be dollied out, just take your time and not try to make huge gains all at once.

Stud gun... HF has one for $99... otherwise, invest in a good one starting around $260.

Depending on the dent (Metal Creasing) I've had good luck with football Soccer and Volleyballs. They take pressure better as their internal bladder is better protected. If it's creased tho' your still gonna have the crease to fix.

Toolbox and door are ok . Door is somewhat out of alignment . It still locks . The fender is pushed up a few inches in front of the wheel .
I have put out feelers to se if I can borrow a stud gun on another local forum that I participate in .
