Unplug window switches and speakers as needed.

Great info..
I am glad there are not those little push pin type fasteners. They make pulling panels difficult, and they never hold right when you put them back on...Thanks for the link to the pics...

Y'all can thank and rep Chris, F350-6 for the great link, I was just the middleman. But it is kinda neat, ain't it?

One thing you can try on the dents is this....
get a couple cans of the computer duster cleaner cans. Then spray the air real close to the truck so it freezes on the truck on the dent. Then get a heat gun and pass it over the frozen portion and the dent and it just may pop out on its own... I have seen this work on some pretty bad dents before...
good luck,

Is this similar to what they do for "paintless dent repair"?

I'd like to know the results of this trick, and no it's not similiar. They use special tools that will amaze the layman.

I wonder if liquid nitrogen would do the same thing? It would also have to be a real heat gun because a 1500 watt hairdryer would not get hot enough, right?

How about a co2 fire extinguisher and a cutting torch? I know that would be cold enough and the torch would be hot enough.

It is just a standard heat gun. We didn't use a hairdryer... I bet some of those may work..LOL..

Yeah but the torch would destroy the paint on my nearly pristine Vdub. My truck is dent free.
