The body shop had to replace the bed side and I think the part alone from the dealer was like $800, This cost a total of $2600 after the inside of the bed was repaired and the painting too. CLICK HERE FOR LARGER PICS

Not worth the labor and time trying to find one, and I had some minor damage to the passenger door.

Becides I only had to pay the $500 dectudable.

I hit a speed limit sign goin 40mph sideways. the speedlimit sign was a 35 mph one.
Rain, lots of power, and a light rear end, DON'T mix well.
But NO RUST!!!! I love galvanized.
