So the guy I bought my truck from liked to drink and drive a bit much and so it had some damage before I bought it. It has some dents here and there, but the only bad part is the front drivers side. I dont really know how to go about even trying to fix it... here is a pic

Is it fixable? For cheap?

Looks like you need a new fender and maybe the sheet metal that runs below the grill between both fenders...depends how nitpicky you want to get, but a new fender liner too if it's crunched.

Once the metal is creased that bad, its hard to get it straight again. It would be easier and cheaper (if you count your time) to just get a new one.

:teacher::cheerl:A new or used fender will take a lot of pain and agony out of fixing your truck. See if you can find all the parts you need at a pick&pull or your local junkyard. Check for parting out in your local papers. If that fails,call J.C. Whitney in Chicago to see what they want for a new fender. Maybe you can hammer the inner fender stuff to fit, The best bet would be to find a good inner and outer fender plus all else you need. Taking the parts off the donor truck will show you how to put it back together too. Good luck Amigo.

Yeah, new or good used fender like has been said already. No way I would try to straighten that, you will spend tons of time on it and it will still look wrong. Personally, that fender is bad enough that I wouldn't even use it if I was planning on cutting it for tire clearance.
