The bed is complete junk! Needs 2 fenders at least 1 door maybe 2. Cab corners, there's pretty heavy rust at the top of cab at corners of reR window. Panel replacement is fairly easy to do, I'm restoring a '71 Bronco so I have had to do a lot of it lol

your truck sounds just like mine! i had rust just bubble up by the rear window on both sides, the paint was never damaged before the rust, so i am not sure how it even happened. I fixed that last year. Doing my cab corners this year. and i am going to replace the bed with a take off, there seems to always be a few on ebay

The only beds I have found are the newer ones, and if I find the right year the are outrageously priced, it just sucks because I love the truck but hate how it looks now

Really? How do they match up to the doors? Wouldn't you have to change the grille and everything?
