I found a short bed fleetside with Chrome spear trim perfect one side. Other side not so much is this bed salvageable or will it cost to much?

Here's the bad side this is on truck still truck ok with big window no title. I think I can get it for 1000 bucks

Repops are going for about 2400 for a full set. NOS the same. One side will pay for the truck, everything else is gravy, especially if it is a big window and the dash is not cut up.

You know, I don't know anything about this but it would SEEM to me that for less than $2,400.00 a creative guy might be able to fabricate his own. Am I all wet on this?

Either starting with some flat stock using a brake and then hand forming over a buck you make out of wood or maybe hand form the entire thing. Sure it'd be very labor intensive, but isn't EARNING $2,400.00 any way you get it?
