Hello to everyone! I have been using this site as a reference during the purchasing process of my pickup. I finally found one suitable for my expectations and I'm ready to bring her back to life! My first step will be working on the body and my biggest issue is the bed. The man who sold me the truck used it to haul firewood mostly and the bed is trashed. I've been looking for full replacement bed panels to weld in and the cheapest I've found is a little over a grand. I'm hoping you fellas with all the insight you have could direct me to a cheaper one or I'm open to alternative routes that may be cheaper. Any suggestions?

By the way my name is Andrew and I hope to meet everyone in due time.
I'm loving these forums already!

Not sure your area but around here decent ones go from 300-600. Is it trashed inside or out? I found one used as a trailer in great shape round here for 300 bucks could of swaped beds resold it. Whala free bed lol
