Default Vehicle body work

I'm looking to get an old truck painted and it requires a bit of body work as well. This is strictly a hunting truck so i'm not looking for a professional job just someone who can spruce it up a bit for me. Any one have any recommendations in the Okotoks area for a backyard body shop?

Do you have a garage ? Do you have ANY experience doing body work ?

It's hard to judge what "I'm not looking for a pro job" actually means over the internet.

And by "a bit of bodywork", give us an idea... One hole, 6" wide ? Or six holes 1" wide ?

Pics would help, as would the year/make/model/approx value of vehicle.

And do you want paint, or since it's a hunting truck do you want it covered in bedliner ?


I've done "a bit" of bodywork, have a garage now (soon to be insulated & heated), and most importantly have some time to actually do it.

* and I'm 10 minutes from Okotoks, close to the new SHC hospital...

Box liner the whole truck dents and all.
Except maybe the windows. Probly cheaper and more durable than paint.

I've thought about doing this. I'm going to paint it flat black anyhow. There is some rust on the cab corners and third door that need to be cleaned up first though
