The bed is actually repairable. I have 2 beds off of wrecked trucks I could cut the parts off of... I'm not going to rig this truck up though. With all power options and 4 doors this truck can be nice...and I have some tricks up my sleeve...lol Stay tuned in.... Here's the bed I'm going to use, it has some dents but no rust...

If I would have had the parts I would have bought this truck. but it looks like it is going to work out great for you. You know I need a hitch and new wiring harness.
