If you are going to kill the bullets think about using a 60-67(??) bed, same as the 58-59 but slab sides. Uses the same front panel and tailgate too. You could probably sell the bullets sides, buy a later one and have money left over.

I also like blackdiesels idea about making it a hardtop. I wonder if 58-60ish chevy auto 4 door hardtop hardware would work??
