i know the bed is bad but finding a good or even a decent bed here in wisconsin is hard. so i might try to salvage it since 90% of the rust is surface. there's only a couple of spots that have rotted trough

other then the many small rust spots the truck looks to be clean... interrior is extremely clean looking.... good luck with the motor issues...
