remove the camper shell put ratchet straps to pull the bed back together and get some brackets like these the bigger one and use either self tapping sheet metal screws of rivets i used rivets on my bed and place them in the corners at the back of the bed at the top. that will help hold the bed together. but if your bed is as rusted as mine then the camper shell will only make things worse over time as of the weight pushing down on the bed the metal is bending in the easiest way which is outwards away from the weight
