Truck Bed bowing at the cab

[David Lisle]

Does anybody know or a video or wish to make repair video on how to unbow a truck bed when the bed is bowing at the cab on top. I am looking to put a cap or tonneau on my Dodge and the bed rail at the cab is bowed out.

I assume it is bowed toward the cab in the middle or toward the tail gate. In either of these cases you should be able to straighten it with a couple of 2×4’s and strap. The metal is not very strong.

I got it straighten a little with some L-Brackets and ratchet straps. Not completely but looking better.
