I know diddly about body work but some years ago I went to look at a flathead for sale in the San Fernando Valley IIRC. Didn't buy the engine but the guy showed me his gorgeous '40 Ford p/u that he removed the spare tire dimple on. He said he used an English wheel. Other than that I don't have any more details. Judging by his truck it can be done and it really added to an already great looking '40. If you do decide to remove the dimple post some photos of the finished job and how you did it.
