toss a plastic bedliner in it until you find a good one. that's all i did for now. then when you get the new bed, drill out the spotwelds for the outer bedside shells and transfer them over to the new bed, so you don't have to paint as much.

Yeah no ****, everything within a spray radius of the tires gets a not-so-healthy coat of water and salt..hmm..wonder what that leads to! hah, yeah im in the same boat bud, im 16 and a junior, but at least ive got the oldest, biggest, loudest, most powerful truck at school! Hah, yeahh my box is tootallyy shot, like they took a torch to the fenderwells and just cut them out to fit like 52" Rice and Kanes in it! then its got dents all over and its rusting from the inside out!
