bed questions..find or fix

[stevenb]

So ive been debating on fixing my bed or trying to find one in decent shape. Mine doesnt appear to be in that bad of shape just the driver side needs some repairs, im going to do some sanding on it tomorrow. To replace the lower bed side and the end cap its going to cost around $350+. I found one that is really clean off a 66, its a camper with dual side gas doors( the only thing I dont like about it) for $300.

Has anyone filled in these gas doors before? Was it easy or hard, and is there a difference in that bed and a non camper bed? Here is a couple pics of mine, just want to see what every body else thinks.
