I got 1 long bed for $60 and another for free.
I took an 8" long 2" thick door slab and made a "bench top" out of that and then welded up some brackets and clamps and made a jig that is bolted to to the top to hold the bedsides while I cut, weld and work on them to make short bedsides out of all of them. (4 sides)
I have 5 trucks to build, 3 short beds and 2 long.
The cheapest shortbed i have found is $300 and it is a rusted, twisted piece of crap. (no bed rails) I wouldn't give the guy $50 for it.
Best deal I have come across for 60-66 parts was at an estate sale where I found a core support, a right and a left fender that were all in old faded GM boxes. I paid $50 for all 3 pieces.
