I need help finding a part...
So we get some snow here in CO and since my little Bro's volvo is in the shop, and I'm home for the weekend I let him use my truck so he can go to work.
Long story short as he's leaving his job I don't think he was prepared for how much more vehicle my super duty is and backs into a light pole. The damage isn't on the tailgate, but on the rear passenger fender, right behind the brake light. The area is all pushed up to the wheel well(most of the body lines aren't damaged, but it is pinched in one or two areas) but the area above and below the lines is pretty well pushed in.
I've taken it to dent masters and after about three hours of work they reduced the size, but they say they can't get it out. My only options are pounding it out or a new fender.
My question is do any of you know how to remove the rear fenders on the bed, or do you know where i can find just the fender. All the places I have looked only have dual rear wheel fenders and I'm single wheel.
Thanks in advance,
Bob

You're talking the side of your bed, right? Most body shops or parts houses can get replace bed skins or you could get one from salvage. Removing the bed side involves unbolting the braces at the wheelwells and cutting or drilling out the caulking and spotwelds that hold the side on, and then rewelding and caulking the new skin on. Or if it's not too bad, you can metal straighten and boddy putty it.
