1985 D150 short box

I’ve recently traded my 95 F250 for my now 85 D150 short box with the 318 auto. Needs a little rust help but I want to replace the whole bed whereas the fender wells in the bed itself are rotting too. So, what’s the best place to find prefabbed beds?

Lmc only has panels and eBay doesn’t have anything but panels. I don’t want to do panels.

Check out the various used auto parts places in the desert states. Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, et. al. Might be able to find a rust free bed, but, they'll want some good money for it.

it is usually cheaper to buy a bed than repair one. i don't think i have ever seen bed sides for these trucks. just the patch panels. i have usually seen beds going from about $500-1000 for a very nice bed.
