good luck finding a short bed they are hard to find and when you find them they want a arm and a leg for them. take it to a body shop and have them put a new skin on the side. i have a fiew beds lawing around but they are long beds. we get them from the places that put on service bodies. you can try a place like that but they generaly dont put service bodies on short beds. you will find it is gonna be cheaper to have it fixed. hope this helps.

There has been a white one on my way home for sale, If you want PM me and I'll look into it for you. I Live near knoxville TN, but my company has a plant in lenexa KS and we ship to it once a week. Let me know and I'll stop and ask about it.
