Hey, Its looking good! A trick I found if you have a spot "oil canning" on you is to apply pressure to keep it where you want it then strike a weld in the middle to heat it up this will expand the metal and stiffen it back up so it stops sucking the dent back in.

Thanks for the tip. I will try that when I get back to there. Im working on the rocker panels and cab corners at the moment. Will post some pictures when I get done with one side so I will have some before and afters.
 
Thanks for asking. I do need to get back to work on it. Have been working some extra hours lately and a lot more coming in the next few weeks. Part of the routine this time of year. The week before last the family and I were also gone to Florida for vacation. We saw the worlds most famous mouse, "RAT", and all his friends. It was our first visit and I must say it is an amazing place. We had a great time!
 
Here are a couple of pictures from the start of the drivers side. Since the bottom of the cab was in such bad shape I decided to raise the rocker panels and cab bottom 2". Should add a lot to the overall lowered look. After getting the center piece straightened out I made a new piece for the front. So far so good.
