Default Looking for ideas

Sup DF,
Im looking for some ideas my truck, specifically the bed. When I bought the truck it came with some tacky diamond plate covers for the top of the bed, basically all the way around (Ill take some pictures when I'm not at work). While I was doing my plenum I decided to take the plating off since it was just bolted to the top of the bed. Come to find out my bed is in pretty rough shape underneath. I was debating a cover for the whole bed, or maybe some little rubber covers for the sides, but I wanted to see what you guys have done. Right now Im actually thinking about rhino lining it.
I come from the world of VWs and Audis, and this is actually my first truck.

Let me just say, the bed already has a liner in it, it's just the top, all the way 'round.
I have bedliner though, and so far thats what Im leaning towards the most.

Yeah I gotta wait until Im at home to take photos, but that was the plan.
I'm worried the condition is bad enough I'll either have to prep it a different way or do something else all together.

Depends on how long you want to keep the truck/ how you use it.

I had a hole in mine big enough for my foot to fall through.

If it's something like that, cut out the rusted section(s), weld in new metal.

Used beds from JY/ Craigslist work too, but can be $.

+1 for pics!
