I bought this for a camping trailer project but the box is in good shape and rust free, just dings and many coats of old paint. I would rather see it go to a good home that needs a half decent 320 bed than hack it up. I can do what I want just as easy with a 90s ranger bed so why hack up something 50 years old? I'm into it $300, not trying to make anything just see it put to good use and get my money back.
