Guys, my latest clunker refurbishment is 71 long bed. The bed itself has a good bit of rust and would need lots cutting out and metal replacement. But the side panels are perfect. I have a 69 bed that is rust free but side panels on both side are crunched beyond repair. How difficult is it to swap outer side panels. Looks like the tire wells unbolt as well as the side to front panel. But is there any spot weld or joint weld cutting needed for the rear to bed section. thanks.
