Bed repair

My truck is old and naturally it has rust and the worst place is the bed in some spots it has holes that are almost 2' * 3'. Is there any way to fix the bed and make it look half way decent? Is there any way to get a new center part for it?

Sure. You can get floor repair sections from LMC truck for about $30 for a 16" x 48" section. It's in the section of Styleside bed patch panels. You can cut it and weld it into place. The patch panels are probably available elsewhere, as well, just have to look around.

Welcome swmr. Where in VA? (I'm near Stuart) Feel free to join the VA Chapter and join us in the chat session. That said: sometimes if you check craigslist you can find complete beds. There was one listed in the Blacksburg/ New River section
