Factory "stowage tool box" bed value?

The bedsides won't care between wood bed or steel, but I believe the front panel does matter. You could use the front panel and steel floor from your current bed and use the toolbox sides. Basically take two beds to make one that you want and then sell off what's left if you don't want to keep it

Yes, you nailed it.

The tool box doesn't look that bad. But you will want to fix that rust sooner rather than later. It will be full of rust inside you just watch. You can cut up a rocker panel to repair below the door. Spray those hinges a lot before trying to open it once you get it unlocked. I'd lube the handle and lock too. All that stuff is getting harder to find and isn't getting any cheaper.
