if its that big not to put a new bed side on it then youd be better off getting a new bed or take it to a body shop and at least get an estimate done.they may even tell you how to fix it.

whoa slow down wheres the Fire?

Ok first NPD has sides that are Made from A mold taken of the entire side of the truck. This will look horible.

where is the dent? If it is low enough you may be able to bring it almost flush. Get rid of the high spots with some grinding and use a thin layer of bondo. Chjeck witha parts house, O'reily, Kragens, Napa or even Autozone. They might have a manual based on auto body repair.
