52Carl, my thought process was the same as yours. Mine were beat up all over but not bad rusted, I figured cheaper than the body man. Except I opted for a very good and expensive paint job. The only thing I notice buy not too bad, the bolts inside the bed thru the fender flanges suck the bed outward some. I will see if my bed picture shows it and attach it. You really can’t see it. 🤣 maybe it’s just me!
