The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop Would you restore this bed side or replace?

I notice on the auto repair TV shows, they ALWAYS replace. I assume because they're sponsored by the companies that sell those parts.
Or maybe it's because they're experienced builders who've learned it's better to dig a ditch with a backhoe than a teaspoon!

Glad you got it done and retained the originality and character of an old truck!
