Get a plunger and try that...and i'm not joking...  ;)  Unless it's a real small dent. A shart yank on a seated plunger will usually do the trick. Unless it's a pretty mangled dent with a lot of creases. Or you can tack weld framing nails in the deepest point of the dent and pull on that...

there is a mangled spot on the driver side. the extended spot. when i busted a cv(again) on TI, getting out if BTC was insane. i had no traction and slid into a tree. and my slider didn't even get touched by the tree. all body of the truck. i have used aplunger on many occasion. but no tthe spot is rusting and i'd like to clean it up. jessica doesn't care about dents. but she doesn't like rust (thus the sale of the impala).

even though i am married i can still impress my wife BTW!!! i'm not going to let the truck go and get all loose and flabby. i keep the rear end tight and Q/A the locker on sharp turns. it always has capable feet, keep it's sneakers shiny and detailed. it has a nice cologne of royal purple and lucas power steenig fluid. the interrior bling accents are a hit at any occasion. i even impress my self. lol!!!


soooo any way's i am looking at sat morning. i'll see what i can figure out by then or rent whatever happens first.

You forgot to mention your large rack ;D

I have a "Ding King" dent puller from my hero Billy Mays.  It works ok for small to medium size stuff, but it sounds like you need something more then that.  Another option would be to put an ad on craigslist asking for an auto body guy looking for some side work.

my rack is empty. i know not having a spare is dumb. but is since i am getting about 8 mpg. with the tire off i'm getting about 10. but if i plan on taking a trip, have no fear, i'll go back to 8 mpg.
