This bed came off of a Dodge Dakota that had been immaculately taken care of, unfortunately said truck lost a battle with a tree on the RIGHT FRONT of the truck.
The bed itself is immaculate, it has a plastic bed liner that was undoubtedly installed via factory with its infamous DODGE logo pressed into the plastic near the cab portion of the bed. The bed beneath it is in great shape and can be seen in the pictures above. There is NO rust on the inside of the fenders or body (where these trucks are known to rust) Pictures were also taken and more can be made available.
There are four spots noted in the pictures of "damage" the bed has sustained.
1) Top bed rail LEFT SIDE
2) Top bed rail RIGHT SIDE (matching edge dent with LEFT)
3) Golf ball sized dent on the silver portion on lower RIGHT at rear of bed.
4) Chipped paint on LEFT TOP FRONT part of bed where the cab was pressed just barely against it from the accident.
That is the WORSE you will find on this bed. Otherwise the
bed is as "Like New" as you will find used without spending a couple
thousand for a bed you'd still need to paint.
