Your dually bed is worth more than a good, straight replacement bed WITH new paint.
Or store it so you can switch back and forth.

In order for me to find a bed to even come close to this one I would have to head to NV/AZ/Cali

By the time I looked for one, find it, buy it and manage to get it north of the border i'll bet i am 2-3k into it, never mind trying to find one to match the color of my truck... I refuse to buy a box I can't see for my self

So its not as simple as just buying LMC box sides, cutting out around the well and welding in the new patch?

If i do switch to DRW it won't be till I do a SAS... and if I get my way when that happens i'll be doing a whole "body off" anyways so some panel patching won't be a big deal. This truck is rust free and so straight this it prob the only real body work that would need to get done
