Default 1996 f150 reg cab 8' bed panel question

I'm looking to get some body work done in the near future but the cost around here for it is a but out of my range.

There significant damage to the bed. A year running the length of the passenger side rear panel and a bent to hell front panel.

In the interest of saving cash at the body shop and my own lacking skills in body work I'd prefer to just replace those panels.

Are those panels are bolted riveted or welded on? Or should I just swap the entire bed?

Swap the bed. It's all spot-welded together, and seam-sealed. Click this, read the caption, and the NEXT several:

Thanks. I was afraid of that but not really surprised. Now just finding one in good shape.
