My entire tailbed is rusted and bent out of shape.. no damage to frame. Just need to replace tailbed. Found someone on craigslist with a replacement. But never have replaced it.

The bed, or the tailgate? Tailgate should take less than 2 minutes, bed could be easy, or it could take forever. Depends on if your bolts are rusted / they break.
