My truck was rear ended on I-85 last week. The hitch took all of the impact and bent the part of the frame were the hitch attaches. Dent in the tailgate and a small hole in the bottom of the bed.
Should I:
Get the frame straghtened.
Or for the same price get a custom flatbed and cut off the bent part of the frame.
Any other ideas?

would be pretty sweet to have a nice flatbed, really depends on how often you use the full bed.

Its my DD but I dont do any regular serious hauling. Mostly use the bed for camping, trips ect.

Definately Flatbed!!
My cousin had one on his old truck and loved it. Plus... sock SUCKS!!

Flatbed! I think they look great and you don't worry about dings and scratches as much.

Something like this maybe.

I like the second and third one. Go with the flatbed.

The second one is awesome!! Definately go with a custom flatbed!!

Yea, the flatbed is nice, I like that 3rd one myself, Plus if getting the frame straightened is more costly you could get an estimate for that then get your flatbed and maybe have some change left over. Hopefully
