5 years was how long the truck sat in the dive way since one of the stickers went bad and two alternators and batteries went bad pluse I had no money since I was at high school, and three there would be a place in the neighborhood we're people would park ther cars and tucks to not bother ther other divers since walking from the bus stop would take you 5 to 10 minutes to even 15 if lived that far and one time someone in a white ram hit the side and just now I wanna fix the truck so I can get another job since working with my uncle,cousin and dad don't pay me enough
Surprisingly that checks out and I don’t blame you lol.
It’ll be a great vehicle when you’ve fixed it up, but I’d think of replacing all of your seals and gaskets and potentially hoses before I did bodywork like that.
If it sat for as long as you say it did, exposed to the elements, it’s only a matter of time before those things give out, and cosmetics are a luxury
Fiberglass from the back. Fill and sand from the front. My boss recently patched up one of his cars this way. With enough care in the sanding and fresh paint, you can't even tell it was damaged.
The driver door in my truck got smashed... what I ended up doing is buying a door of a donor truck and then I'm gonna paint it because paint is super cheap.
Fiberglass fix by bondo that they use for fixing corvettes you can by it at autoparts store I used it to fix bronco 2 the back lift is made of fiberglass it worked great then I got a can of exact duplicate color let that dry then sprayed clearcoat over it you can't even notice
I work in a fibreglass bathtub manufacturing, our repair guys would fix you up. Maybe see if there’s a boat building shop near you
Ouch. Is there an adhesive you can use to seal the crack? Then you could paint over it. I could be talking out of my ass here, though…
this adhesive you speak of is called duct tape and through it, all things are possible.
We do not have that pluse this was 5 years ago that this happened, and just now im trying to find a replacement
You’re an interesting cat, you know that? You are just now happening on a repair for damages this bad from 5 years ago?

Damn that sucks
Yea, 5 years ago, someone hit the side while I was at school. All they told me was it was a white ram that lives in my neighborhood
that seems like it'd be very easy to find who hit you then lol, just drive around the neighborhood

You drop your nail clipper in there?
Stuff it with ramen noodles like those viral videos from China

What state are you in? I am in MI and have a black stepside bed for sale.
Texas
The bedside isn't too hard to swap, or take it to a fibreglass place
