Styleside bed

My bed has a slight inward bow in it at the fenderwell on both sides.Is this normal or is it from someone maybe lifting the bed off with a strap around it.Thats my guess anyway.Its not bent just a slight bow.

My bed became bowed-in at the fender area when I removed the wood floor from the box and let it sit this way for a couple years. I cut lengths of 2x4s slightly wider than the regular box width and wedged them between the bed sides and left it for a couple of weeks. This pushed the sides back out to their original width. Gord

The 58 styleside has metal bed.My thought was to wedge something to push em back out.I dont want to do more damage than good.
