Would you use bondo on the floor of a truck bed to fix dents and dings

Try to get the metal as flat as you can. If you don't plan on hauling anything you would be fine using a filler but I would use some all metal filler before bondo.

ok if nothing is being hauled use either all metal or duraglass, which is much stronger, and would fill in deeper dents better, finish over with bondo to make it flat and smooth.

If you are going to haul stuff I'd stay away from all of them mostly because it could just breaks or tear it up hauling things.

I'd get under it and hit it up to flatten it out as best you can.

or remove the bed and do so.

another option would be to buy yourself a rubber bed mat for around $70 from summit or maybe lmc has em or jcwhitney, that will cover the dents and look pretty decent doing so.

Another option is ordering patch panels and welding them in place, I seem to remember lmc selling sections of bed floor.

If you're not hauling anything anymore, then feel free to use some nice easy sanding filler (not the Bondo brand). If you are still using the truck as a truck, don't worry about fixing dents in the bed floor.

I just left mine as is and put bedliner in it. Mine was never intended to be a show truck so I chose not to worry about it.
