I have another decision to make lol, I have a perfect long box that is on the truck now, do I cut it down to a shortbox, or do I use my existing short box and do the rust repair and bodywork and sandblasting on it. The longbed has 25000 miles on it, original bed wood, in unreal original condition, my shortbed is dented up and has been previously patched at some point, I also have to replace the front panel, tubs, and tailgate. Not sure what is more expensive.
