Is this conversion idea worth it?

[RuralRoute C-30]

Last November I bought this 79 C-30 with a welder bed.


Recently I saw this flatbed on CL for $250. A former dump bed taken directly off a '79' C-30 (now gone to junk yard), but no hydraulics now, so essentially it would be a fixed flatbed.

This 79 is a strong runner, bought with new tires, exhaust, etc., so it makes sense to me this flatbed on CL would be an added improvement over the welder bed. Cab has the typical cab corner & rocker rust but repairable and the interior is decent/not trashed/not perfect.

Any opinions? Seems the flatbed is a decent price. Any problems to consider putting a 10' bed on what I consider a short wheel-base?

Hate to see the 79 sit around and probably will sell it soon as I don't need two C-30's. Figure the CL bed would at least add more to the truck's value as a working truck than the welder bed it has.

Opinions? Problems in this conversion to consider?

Thanks,
Mark
