ok so i need a new bed for my dodge and found this one...anyone know if this can be fixed? Its the rear as you can see that needs to be fixed or know anyone that is trying to get rid of a dodge bed?

thanks

 

[reefguy89]

why do you need a new bed? the sides are just a skin and can be replaces. there is spot welds on the top inside the bed and on the bottom. also i think there is some supports that need to be unbolted. not sure on that thought.

 

[Bagged03Ram22s]

because mine looks worse then this, well just the driver side and inside the bed looks bad.

And thanks

That looks pretty creased, but if its cheap enough and if it looks better than yours you could probably give it a go at fixing it.

 

[Bagged03Ram22s]

yeah only gonna run me $250, idk how much a body shop will charge to fix it or how much a skin will be (like stated above) or where to find one but i think it would be better than fixing my bed i have now....thanks for the info and input

Jason do you ever check cl, I have seen a few beds on there for a few hundo

Going off the pics in your album that you posted in your for sell thread, all it appears you need are new rear wheel arches and some minimal work on the lower front bed corner...which on Truck Parts and Truck Accessories for Chevy, GMC, Ford and Dodge Trucks from LMCTruck.com are part #56-9272 and 56-9273 which are $89.00 each...so, I would imagine you are going to put more money getting that white bed in top shape than you would just having a shop patch your current bed up with new panels.

thanks i didnt know about that...the inside of the bed needs some work done too, but im sure i can find someone to sheet metal the inside for me

I might take some better photos tomorrow to show what all is bad on my bed

 

[adamwilkes14]

yeah...looks like you might have damaged the wheel arches when tucking the rear wheels...maybe? You could even tell the body man to extend the arches out a little, so you can tuck your rears without damaging the new ones.

was actually because of the person who bagged my truck, he cut out the wheel wells and didn't brace that area back up so it flexes when i drive

I also dont know about this part, its the same area thats messed up in the white bed

Inside the bed, prob just need to get it sheet metaled and get those tractor fenders taken out and redone

 

[ramthis9501]

Dude all you got to do is take a body hammer and knock that out. Then sand down that small rust spot and respray it. Won't even really see it since it's on the bottom of the truck

 

[adamwilkes14]

yeah, you can do a simple notch cover for the inside of the bed...they arent that expensive, prob less than $100 from like suicide doors and get you a set of wheel tubs...they will even make you one longer than 48" wide if needed...

i would just get a new skin for the side and take it to a either a body shop or metal fab/welder and have them tub out the bed. it not in that bad of shape.
