    I inherited a 2002 Dodge RAM 1500 single cab that the passenger side bed has a big dent from a tree falling on it... can't seem to find a quality body shop in Spring (I have checked with Caliber and service king both want over $4500 to do the work). This should be far less than that I would think. Does anyone have experience with body shops in the Spring, TX area that are fairly priced?

    Might be cheaper to find a good bed at a junk yard and do a swap.

    My dad has done this with a couple project trucks - way cheaper than taking to a shop and having the bed fixed.

    @texmansru47 If you go that route, I wouldn't mind coming over to lend a hand. We might need another body or two, unless you happen to have access to a cherry picker. That's how my pop & I handled the last bed swap he did. One person to manage the cherry picker, the other to steady the bed.

    And four of his five were in this thread...........the other one must have been a doozy.
    Just read all his posts, nothing left up was crazy.

    His profile pic has been seen before, yom wilson of spring Tx? Possibly a gambler or other previously banned member returning?

    IIRC, I think Gambler was from the DFW area. But with Gambler, everything is a gamble! His last incarnation here, he identified as a young woman, Amberloo!

    They did a good job for me a couple years ago. I called them recently when some numbnuts hit my pickup, but they were booked solid when I called.

    Texan Glass is next door and they do a great job on windshield replacements.

    What did you expect to pay to cut off an inner and outer bed side, weld on a new one, then perform all the body and paint work?

    You can buy a bed for $1000 or less I bed and swap it with the help of three buddies.
