Default Maybe getting a 92 flare side

Hey guys, I've been doing a good bit of reading on here and just wanted you guys opinions. So recently a 92 flare side became available to me, has 180k miles, only problem is that the guy said he had a blow out on the interstate and it cracked the bed on the driver's side. How hard is it to repair the bed? From what I've read here it's a needle in a haystack to find a new bed, so that's probably out of the question.... I really want the truck, and want to fix it up and repaint it and all of that good stuff. I'm just worried about the bed being unable to be fixed. Still trying to figure out how to post pictures. Sorry for no pictures.

bed or fender...the bed is steel and the fender is glass...either can be repaired pretty easily with the right tools, skills and materials.

Location...as some parts can be had from the SW part of the country in good shape.

LMC or similar aftermarket may have some options as well.

It's the fender I believe. I've watched some videos on YouTube on how to fix fiberglass, so I believe I can do it... But i want it to be right. So maybe I'll take it some where. I haven't decided really yet.

Find a shop that works on corvette's a lot. They'll have experience with fiberglas repair.
