Default Body working tools

I am about to start doing some bodywork on one of our old trucks. It has lots of dents and the like and I want to pick up some tools and info on how to pull out dents and make em smooth again. So any suggestions ?

Eastwood Company seems to have a pretty good selection of autobody tools. EastwoodCompany.com . I think I remember seeing some how to books in their catalogue too.

Are you going to paint it or do you want to retain the finish? A-1 Tool makes great PDR tools.

I dont want to paint it but I"m trying to save the original sheet metal off of it and save some money I will look into those tools and if I can even get them semi straight I will let a pro finish them out.
