https://car-part.com

Just replaced my whole bed that was rusted out and found it on that website. Hardest part was getting the bolts cut off. Ordered Dorman replacement set.

We're in NE and I just found one in NE that was rust free. You can maybe luck out with finding one near you that doesn't have rust.

Your truck looked just like mine.

The bolts were from Dorman. Got them off Rockauto for like $60.

For the bed, I would suggest getting it off, then taking a ball pen hammer and banging off any surface rust (unless you have an air hammer/needle thing). Then I used some rust dissolver gel and did the back frame all over, then used some Rustoleum Rust convertor spray to cover the frame.

The problem with the bed is that there are dings and scratches on the otherside. I didn’t check to see how bad the rust is on that side, but it probably isnt much better.The bed is quite literally rusting away. Would rather replace it.
