Default Restoration Parts form my Ram

Anyone know a good place to get a replacement bed. I have an 84 W150 Shortbed but the inside of the Bed is pretty hammered. The outside is almost perfect. I can bang out the wheel wells but the bed next to the cab is bowed towards the cab. Any suggestions on straightening it out. I could then just patch the couple of holes and spray in a bedliner. The other thing I am looking for is the dash trim. Thanks for any help you can give me.

The dash cap is in perfect condition. I am not sure what to call the trim piece I need. It is the chrome and black stuff around the edge of the dash panel. I am planning on pulling out the 3 round guages and replacing it with a one piece 5 guage digital set. I am going to take a 1/8 in piece of oak plywood and stain it ebony to replace the inside of the panels (the part around the 3 guages). my trim is broken around the maplight and looks tacky. My wife is out of town and has our camera. I will send a picture of what I am looking for next week. Thanks

Sorry about the double image. I accidentally posted it twice. That is the dash panel I am planning on putting in, only with the green LED.

That is exactly what I am looking for. Thanks. Will the 89 still fit in the 84. I dont think I have the information panel. I will have to look when I get home from work. 5 bucks. Sweet.

Yes the 89 should fit in the 84 no problem. You probably just have the "cubby hole" instead.
