I need some openions

[chucks1967]

I have a good bed shell, but the inner panels where the bed floor mounts to is all rusted out and gone, as are the wheel well lip at the bottom.. What are my options. I know about mar-k and there replacement panels and wheel well lips, but I am short of cash as every one is these days. What would you do. I have plenty of sheet metal... should I make my own lip? or should I just bite the bullet and get the replacement panels prefabbed up. the rust doesn't extend very far up the panel. Basically it just rusted out at the 90 deg bend. Opinions would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
