I'm just in the process of making a 9' bed. The problem with this bed is this...if you look at the tailgate you'll see it's all dented. The bed sides are the same. The fenders have the flange rusted off. Is it fixable? Absolutely. I figure if you dropped it at a shop & told them you wanted it painted nicely you'd get a $5k+ bill.
If it was on a nice original truck it would be great but anyone that buys it is going to have to paint it to match their truck & that's where you start pissing money away.
The next problem is that it's only worth anything to a guy within 500 miles of it...which really doesn't work well with Ebay.
