I am trying to make this a sheet metal part that can be flattened. I cannot find a way to do it. If anyone else can. i would greatly appreciate it.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

Otherwise, no. The bend forms are non-Gaussian, and can not be unfolded w/ simple sheet metal unbending algorithm that SW (and most others) uses.
RE: Kudos to anyone who can do this
Try the following:
1) Sketch the flat blank (sheet metal);
2) Two Sketched bends to create the offset ("step");
3) Roll the sheet metal into the shape using "FLEX/Bend" command.
I think this is what you need.
Best regards,
Alex

That worked

By the way, if you want to, you can add equation(s) to control sizes of the flat blank based on the formed part.

Thanks! I tried Jog command. It works well.

Just extrude the finished profile, then apply the Flex in a config.

But OP wants to have flat blank.

FYI
Inventor 2010 has added a lot of new sheet metal functionality.
