I have an 03 dakota quad cab.
The bed is rusting out pretty bad.
I have put on outer wheel arches but need inner wheel wells and could use outer lower skins.I know I can use sheet metal but premade panels would be nice.
I have looked around and can not find any panels,anyone have any leads?
Forget about a complete bed,out of my budget.

They do have whole bed sides, too. But at about a grand for the pair, you may as well just buy another whole truck and swap out what you need, then resell the parts truck. smile

I take it you have 5' 7" bed???? you may have to cut panels out of another bed..

What part of PA?

If you have 6'5" bed they can be found for as low as $300..

Cheapest and easiest may be to shop down south or out west for a full bed and paint/swap it.

I have the 5+' bed.
I have looked at a complete bed,$1000 and up depending on shipping,not including prep and painting.

Holy shneikees! I just bought a whole truck with blow 4.7 for $500! The 4.7 trucks litter CL for real cheap all the time here with no rust. Perhaps I should round up 3-4 beds, stack em on my trailer and haul them over for you to sell for me.

What color do you need?

I am going to try a 5.7 in this one or I would sell you the bed off it.

In case you did not notice the short box on the quad cab is only on the quad cab and can be very quickly idedentified off the truck by the indents on the front of the box where the cab wraps around the edge of the box, ex cab and reg cab do not have those indents.


I am not causing global warming, I am just trying to hold off a impending Ice Age!

yea, if you it right now.

shop around. craigslist will be your friend.

there are complete trucks out there for $1,000!!

I bought a 6.5' bed for my old truck, paid $150, but I kept looking at craigslist off and on for maybe 6 months.
