To patch or replace bed?

[phishfud]

I think the shortbed on my 84 may be worse than I thought. As of now, it needs both wheel arches, patches behind the wheels, both inner wheel wells, tailgate posts, and the tailpan section. The floor, outer wells and the rest are in pretty nice shape. Not sure if it is worth me fixing, or maybe try and find some nice bedsides or maybe a whole rust free bed. This is not going to be a show truck, just for haulin and maybe some wheelin now and then. Just want it to be solid. any thoughts would be great. Thanks.
