Scrap??? Are you crazy Rick??? You can't save that beautiful bed you got???
If the top rails weren't as hamered as they are you could reskin the insides like I did on mine. Did you ever get an answer on the 60's bed you found, if you can use it or not? If the issue is fender holes, weld the old ones up and drill new ones. Too bad you do not live closer, I wish I could help you figure out some of the issues you have to deal with.
As far as the skin comming apart, take the door off and spot weld the skin back onto the inner shell and see if that fixes it. You might want to put a series of small spot welds all around the door (2 or so inches apart between welds) to help keep it in place and then grind them smooth. Smear a light coat of seam sealer on the edge and noone will ever know it was fixed!
