Ok...
This type of thread has been posted before but it's always good to refresh what can and cannot be repaired. The 1st picture is the bed as I found it on the Circuit Rider. No...it was not repairable. But I was able to find a take off bed that took its place.
Lets see your pics of rust that had to be fixed before you could restore/fix your truck.

This is a picture of the bed that came with my truck.

This is the bed that replaced the rusted bed.

Although your truck is beautiful and I praise you for doing such a nice job...

I really want that thing to the left or your truck.

I am O for 2...
A) I paid to have my truck done as I am mechanically challenged.

B) The Oil/Gas pump belongs to the original owner of the field on which this house was built. Has no oil but still pumps out a little gas.

Oh the joy of owning an original California desert truck. Makes restoration light years ahead of the game.
