Flareside Bed Value

I'm planning on looking at a flareside bed today that is for sale. Assuming it is mostly rust-free, what would this thing be worth? It is complete minus bed wood.

Well reproduction is about 2500 so rust free originals are rare.

If you don't pick it up, could you let me know?

I have a friend looking for one to finish his truck.

Thanks.

This brings up a good question, how rare are the Flaresides?

I have all the pieces but I'm not sure I want to use it, I'm leaning more towards a styleside but good luck finding one of them! If anyone has one I might trade.

If you consider that a tale gate is $400, each fender will run you about $350 and the side are not available (I do know someone that can build them) I would say it is worth at least $1500 or more.

Well, guess it doesn't matter as far as this bed goes, he sold it before I could see it. The discussion has been helpful though.
