Rear cab repair panels Help please

[astaindsoul5446]

So i had a little mishap with big white today. Had a pallet of landscape block on the back. All of the tourist are here for the Stupid baseball camps. Guy hit his brakes. I hit mine doing about 15 and had to stop rather fast. Pallet slid and smashed the front of my box and pushed the rear of my cab in about 10 inches. Not to happy. But being that i dont have comp on my truck I have to fix it my self which is no big deal. I just need to find the parts. Salvage yard around me are horrible and have nothing new except for the throw away car IE: neons cavaliers, blah blah.
Does any one know where i can get Repair panels. I have a buddy who works at a body shop and im going to talk to him tomorow but in the mean time.....
Any input would be greatly appreciated.



Sorry about the pic quality.

My pride and joy is all F*&^$# up

I know..... I hate tourists...... I wish I lived NO where near the baseball hall of fame. Its absolutely rediculous when they all come around. Could have been alot worse. Could have rear ended him and had that happen also....... Something always goes wrong when Im getting ahead. Just about to buy land. Got alot of my debt paid off..... over halfway paid off on the truck.. . . . . Go figure.
Thanks for the input.

wow, i wouldnt know where to start with that. you sure did a number. i wish you luck man.

Does anyone have a rolled truck or parts truck that they are parting out. if you have these panels I would greatly appreciate them. I will even come and get them., cant find them anywhere

First question i gotta ask is why wasnt the load tied down?

Make sure the cab itself didnt suck in at the corners do the doors still line up with the cab corner edge where it wraps around to become the back of the cab?
See if the roof has waves or bends in it. Thats a pretty hard hit.

You can remove the bed drill a couple of holes and strap some 4x4 on the inside and have a come along to pull the damage back out.
Put some chains through the top hole come down to the bottom hole 4x4 between the cab and the chain loop on the inside of the cab
Take two come alongs and place them at the rear of the truck frame and then start tightening them slowly.
just a idea. I dont think youll get it perfectly straight but it shoudl get you close. you can always use a hammer and block to do final stuff.
My buddy works for a body shop and hes here and we were looking at your truck and we thought this up. he said htats what he would do. hes gonna look at his shop ( not sure if you wanna pay the shipping. he said he has a whole pile of cut off parts in the back of the shop. he said you can have it if he has one. They throw the stuff out every month.

The load was tied down. But it was kinda a last minute thing and all i had where small straps which snapped. I tried pushing the panel out. I do alot of body work and have done lots of salvage. I couldnt get the panel to come back without the panel collapsing. I was looking for parts. Didnt know if anyone had a parts cab or anything. I would greatly appreciate if he has anything. I believe i finally found the pieces. but im waiting of the yard to pull them for me.

The cab did pull in the sides on the posts. But no the roof di not ripple. and the post only bent on the ears.

I believe i have the whole back section. again just waiting on the yard. Im gonna replace the back section of the cab. Much like a roll over repair.

Gonna have to drill the spot welds and pull the back cab section off.
Thanks for the input. though.

Well my buddy went to work yesterday and he took a peek. there are some cab parts back there but he has to see which are for a SD. He said right now they all look the same. he said he shoudl have a yes or no by monday
I have no idea what shipping will be though.
