there;s a couple things you could do for the rust, cut out the panels and replace with patch panels or, cover the bed with a drop in liner to hide it, or clean it, shoot it with por15 top and bottom and use duct tape to cover the holes from the bottom and shoot it with a spray in bed liner. just a few ideas. i like the beds with the tool boxes though. not a bad lookin truck.

the rust looks a lot worse than it is- the guy i bought it from had a load of garbage sitting in it for a year. its mainly really bad surface rust on the bed- the fenders, etc, have none!! i was going to try wire-wheeling it and trying herculiner or something....

check out www.speedliner.com. you but the whole kit including the spray hopper and do it yourself and you keep the equipment. so you can get more materials and requop some or all of your money doin other trucks. the first time you purchase it runs about 340 for everything then about 125 for more materials to do others and you can paint match with it too.

I'd go have it bead/sand/media blasted, then that Por stuff, and a spray in liner. sounds like a lot of work, but you'll never have to do it again, and it will raise the resale value!!!
