I have restored 2 of these trucks in the last 5 years and I have purchased complete bed kits for both of them. 1 long bed and 1 short. I am very pleased with the repop beds and knowing they are rust free. All depends on your plans. You can get a complete short bed for around $2100 plus shipping. Used beds will always have more rust than you can see and usually dented and beat up. Spending time and money to repair used ones didn't work for me. Good Luck!
