Hey guys I need some advice.

As you all know I cracked up my bed a while ago.

Then I took the plastic liner out of the inside of the bed for the first time and its somewhat ugly.

I dont have a picture but the Inner Wheel wells are dented bad! but there are no other dents or dings on the inside.

Then I cracked up the back left quarter panels but you can see that in the pictures below.

Which do you think would be better? To have a body guy fix it all? If so how much do you guys think a Body guy would charge me?

OR!

Buy a new bed that has no dents or dings inside or out, and re-weld a new roll pan in and switch the tailgates from old to the new bed. Then get it all painted to match?

Which would you do?

A used good bed might be chapest and easiset route. The damage isnt that bad. The fender lip is an easy fiv, some the bed inside dents are probably gonna be hard, and that rear section isnt that bad.

actually its not just a lip...the whole quarter back there is pushed out an inch or two...what happened is i backed into a high curb and pushed the whole back quarter upwards. Its wavy too now.

Yea Get a new Bed Or a new bed side. they just have a few bolts and some Glue and then they com right off. Plus I bet it would be cheaper.

One is called Forrest Green and the other Polo Green. IDK which is which, cause its hard to tell in the book. Jason has a Flame Yellow which was extra cost option. Sandalwood is the mocha looking color I believe and IDK what they called the Copper colored one.
