You're going to love it! I REALLY enjoyed the Three or four times I drove mine with the top off. Couldn't stand it with the top on honestly after driving it with it off....
Shortbeds around here are like hens teeth. Even if I found one, chances are slim it would have a good passenger side. If it was good, it would already be on someones truck. Now I might find a good longbed, cut off the outer panel then cut it down to fit. That would be my best shot for getting the tail light area (which is also banged up good on the side).

When I was a little kid, my dad had an old red convertible. I was too young to even know the brand or even for sure what it looked like. It was red, it was long, it had a black top with some tears and it was the greatest ride to the beach or to grandma's or anywhere.
