82 shortbed question
I just got a 82 silverado shortbed. The problem is it needs a new bed and i was wondering how much to pay for another bed? I know absolutely nothing about trucks this is my first one and I know it may be a dumb question but you gotta start somewhere. I dont want to get ripped off and pay to much.

Junkyard. I wouldn't expect to pay more than a couple hundred for one. But then there is painting it, that will run you at least twice what the bed itself cost.
There is like 8 or so bolts holding the bed on, plus the taillights and fuel filler neck. Pretty simple, but it will take 4 people to carry one. Bring a can of PB Blaster and a big *** breaker bar if you are pulling one off of a junkyarder, those bolts are sure to be rusted on there.
Craigslist would be another option, bet you can find someone within driving distance that is parting out a truck.
