How do you guys straighten a tub? I have a bent tailgate and one of the sides is bent at the top. Is it better to just drop it off and have it done properly?

foster,
Have you read the "How To" within the bottom section, Suggestions, Comments and Testing?
You'll have to upload your pics to some website and then post the link to that picture in your reply.

to resize your photos and load them to this site using the Insert Image icon (  ). If you use a photo sharing site and don't follow their rules exactly, your photos will no longer be available to other sites. Take a look at all the red Xs in place of missing photos that have been posted in the past. Photos that are uploaded to the member's file manager space here will stay with the forum. |

There it is, look at the right rail. I'm thinking about dropping it off to have it straightened.

Mine was bent much worse and i beat the bend out with a hammer. worked just fine. you can see pictures under the ww2 trailer project thread. i really worked it over with a small sledge. the tubs arent delicate at all and it took some real beating on to get it straight.
