What to do?

The other day there was a big storm and a tree branch fell on my 72 GMC. It dented the top of both sides of the bed rails (Long bed BTW). I took it to my insurance and they estimated the damage at $1150, minus my $500 deductable, I'll be getting the $650.

So here's the delima, the 72 GMC is for sale. I was asking like $7500 for it with not a lot of interest.

Also keep in mind I have a 68 Chevy sitting in the garage that I'm doing a frame off on.

So I figure I have a few options.

-Don't fix it, lower the price on the GMC and sell it as it is now
-Have it fixed and continue trying to sell it.
-Get new shortbed fenders, cut the frame, make it into a short bed, repaint and sell it for more.
-Cut the longbed fenders into shortbed and same as above

The thing is, I have limited time, it's taken me 5 1/2 months to get to where my 68 is now....so it's going slow.

What do you all think, any other suggestions?
Thanks
