'82 SWB bed exchange/swap - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have come to realization that it will easier and more cost effective to replace my bed than repair it.(considering I can no longer weld due to health issues)
Keeping in mind I am not particular as it will be a semi custom anyway so I am willing to use deal either fleet or step side, 67-2009 years, Just a direct swap w little or no fab work other drilling,shimming or spacing
Any good swaps out there?
Price to expect to pay for a good usable used upper Midwest unit? (MN,not will willing to ship or drive out of state)
You cannot see the somewhat major rust/dent issues in this pic B4 cleanup. It will take 4 panels to get this one right.

Oh yah, What years motor frame(steel) mounts fit to put a v8 in it?
