Got the truck home and was able to piece together a front axle from a couple of frames. The 47 bed was real rough, multiple areas of rusting out and looks like areas of welded patches that looked real bad. Passenger panel was or seemed very rusty flimsy. I went and took the newer bed. Very solid, pretty rust free and no awful patches. I know I know, I'll have to mount it properly and hopefully make it look ok. I think it looks good sitting up there, I suppose I can always find another bed if I need to.
