so.... i bought a 94 base. the cab, doors, front fenders n hood is decent for the age of the truck. i can live with them. the majority of the dings/dents is on the bed. should i invest in having the bed fixed (dent removal, bondo body work, etc) or just try to find a bed in better condition? i know after bondo i should get it painted but for the time being, all the dents n dings are bugging me n discouraging me from dumping more money into the truck.

also, the roll pan is kinda bent up but i can live with that too.

any help, coments will be subject to review

thanks

 

.... on a side note, im trying to get the motor running solid before i venture off to other projects for the truck. but mite as well start getting ideas for body now so i can get it all lined up

 

If the bed isn't to bad any decent body shop can smooth out the bed for you it might cost a bit depending on the hours it takes to do the work ..it might save you some money if u remove the bed and let them have it .if u can live without it . Or on the other hand might find one that is decent comparable to the cab and fenders .maybe cheaper that way

 

thanks. ya thats what i thought -mite be better to remove it n just leave at body shop for a while. its the $$$ thats got me worried. although, finding a "good/decent" bed is difficult in general.

 

How bad is the bed? Can you post pics?

 

ill do my best

 

prim if the bed is worth fixing den just body it...if not then finding a same color bed maybe hard...maybe not...
