    I have damage to my passenger side bed box. Bondoed it trying to fix it, now it looks bad.

    Can i just replace the passenger side panel only, without welding and torching?

    Or

    New bed box?

    You'll have to weld, no questions about it.

    Proper panels? toyota, or some junkyard that can cut the bed in half. You'll have to look at all of your spot welds to see what needs to be drilled.

    I suppose you could get fiberglass panels if you wanted...
