When I was looking for mine, I also found that a lot of them had been in accidents so be careful of dodgy repairs.

They may look good from a far but far from good

thanks mate. yeah i have a few tools for telling if pannels have been replaced and that so should be good.
do they get much rust in the truck bed?

You have to remember the age of the car, its not going to be perfect,but you still have to look...

Good luck
