That came out pretty good. You can hardly see the duct tape! 
Seriously though--what did you end up doing? Replace the tub side + capping?

I started by removing the capping and straightening it the best I could.
I then made a puller from an beam (old garage door opener T-Beam) and a piece of 1/4" x 1" plate/ I bridged the beam from the frame up to the capping. I placed the piece of plate inside the back corner and placed a long 5/16" bolt between the two in one of the rivet holes widened out to the bolt size. I then worked on pulling out the back corner. I repositioned the bolt a few times in different rivet holes. This with some pounding out of some of the areas this didn't correct and a little bondo to level things out a little. I did take the picture from an angle that makes it look a little better than it is. Acceptable for this truck it's not a garage queen but a every day driver year round.THING 1 - 1973 88 SIII - SOLD
