I NEED A BED!!!

Hi my names chris i live in Mt.Pleasant, michigan and I really really need a Bed for my truck. Mine was someones mud truck, and it had rusty wheel wells so they torched out HUGE wheel wells on both sides. it also has tons of dents. Well anyways, I need a dent free Long 8ft box for my truck. I can fix rust but not dents so i can repaint my truck. If anyone has any for sale in the surrounding area would be great! Im also 15 and sorta poor so dont rip me off....Thanks!

Have you checked local scrap yards around you? You'd be surprised to see what you can find.

I'd also just look around to see if there any fellow dentside drivers around you. (They're all not on FTE)

Hey neighbor...I am about an hour from you, and all i can say is good luck. I have been lookin for a bad around here for a year, and if you can find a good one, they are about $1000, give or take. Keep an eye on the grand rapids craigslist, sometimes people are parting out these trucks, but you might still have your work cut out for you.
EDIT: there is a yard off 522 east of stanton, looks like someones backyard, they have at least 3 of these trucks. next time i go by there, i will drop in and see what they got.

I am the other way around. I am slow on body work, really slow, but would rather deal with a dent than rust any day.
