Default 2004 Dodge Ram rust cover-up! (rear rockers/bumper/tailgate)

I have a 2004 with 130k on the dial, truck runs strong and has a lot of life left, but everything behind the cab is trying to rust away on me. I've already "dealt with" the rust over the fenders... cut it out, POR-15'ed, flared over.

Here is a video walkaround of the rust areas I am trying to conceal:


I've looked for bed replacements but having trouble locating one that isn't going to cost thousands, and since it's just cosmetic, wasn't wanting to drop several grand on the issue.

Anyone out there have any ideas on concealing that won't break the bank on this 14yo vehicle?

Thanks!

Tom

Thought about doing something like this, but I don't think it goes all the way to the bottom of the bed: http://www.autoanything.com/chrome-a...-rocker-panels
