Long Bed value?

[Mechanickid]

I just bought a ranger and the bed is shot. How much is a good fair price for a 1983-92 long box in decent shape?

i bought a whole truck for $125 and got a good bed and all the parts for an m5od swap and then sold the truck for what i gave for it

 

[Mechanickid]

so a good bed is worth maybe 100$ ?

I don't know exactly what one would be worth, but I'd say deffenatly more than 100 bucks.

Around here, youre lucky to get a bumper or hood for less than $80.

The local junkyard around here sells beds for between 100 and 150. Minus tailgate.

gonna say depends on area and condition, either look on craiglist or start calling around, that about all i can recomend

All depends on your location. I got the one on my former Ranger for $500. And it was the only one in southern Alberta that was rust free. I even called up to Edmonton and some parts of BC and Saskatchewan, everything has rust, one that's rust free goes for quite a bit.

I'd say try to buy a whole truck for cheap, then part it or scrap it. Wrecking yards tend to charge an arm and a leg for big stuff like that.

I have 2 parts trucks, an 86 stx and a 91 explorer 4 door. Ive picked over my 86 pretty well. I sold the bed (short box) for 100$ about a year ago.
