Bed Rotten!

Last spring both of my bedsides bubbled some minor rust within 2 days of each side! I've gotten a couple quotes to get her patched up and painted but when I was underneath the other day installing my new 4" MBRP, I found the crossmembers completely rotted! So those quotes from the body shop are in the trash. Does anybody out there FTE land have a 6 footer in really good shape they want rid of?

Good luck with your search. short boxes are harder to find because people don't take them off like I did with my long box.

a local shop gave a price to replace mine recently for 250 to 300 I cant recall exactly what they were going to do. They did tell me my rear quarters are original. I have zero rust on my rear quarters and my truck is a 2000 from Cape Cod mass. Not sure what they are supposed to look like inside but I can see that there is no foam or anything which people say causes the rust.
