If there are creases in the metal, not good. But if they are just popped in the side, you can try to heat the area up. Older cars with much thicker metal used to respond well to this with dents but I have not tried it on a SD box yet. A plunger works on some dents as well.

Dry ice works well on small dents, not too sure how it would work on a large dent.

i would try to push it out from the inside. then you should be able to use a hammer/dolly set and smooth it all out. just remember to use a cloth on the painted side so the dolly doesnt mess up the paint job.

A lot of bedside dents can be fixed with a flat basketball pretty easy depending where (how low) it is. Stick it in there flat then air it up.

Got a picture?

If its not too low, you should be able to get it between the outside bed panel and the actual bed.
