It's pretty much the same story over and over. The cheap factor gets to us and we pay less on the front end and wind up paying more on the back end. If you buy a truck with a bed that's not economically restorable, you are not really buying a truck with a bed, just a cab with a rusty pile of metal where the bed used to be.
If trucks with decent beds were hard to find, that would be one thing. But, most of us fool ourselves into thinking that the lowest price truck is the best deal.
I can understand if you can't afford a complete truck. But, buying a truck without a bed is not going to help your finances if your goal is to have a truck with a bed. Replacement beds are not cheap and a better financial outcome can usually be obtained by buying a truck with a decent bed.
