I helped a friend of mine build a custom bed for his truck, I think he was into it about 1200 dollars with all of the materials. We did all the welding and installation. He had a lot of the steel laying around his shop. I would imagine you'll be around $2500 to buy one new.
By the way, I see youre in the Elk Grove area, I was there a couple years ago working out a problem with one of our suppliers. Really nice area, I enjoyed going to the park in the evenings and watching the Elk herd. Also, a lot of nice parkways in the area.

ok well i called the insurance company and set up a appointment with a rep on wednesday, i forgot to tell the lady when i was trying to pop the dents out the tail light fell off 
it must have been loose but it came off when i was hammering the inside of the sheet metal. Should i just tell the guy it happen when i was trying to pop out the dents?

My insurance doesn't raise rates unless you have more than 1 accident on file. It would be easier to just pay your deductible. It sucks but maybe they wont raise your rates if you explain what happened. But like someone earlier mentioned, see if there are security cameras.

Leave the truck alone till the insurance person sees it, otherwise they wont assess the damage right. If you start fixing it they wont see how bad it really is. I know I wouldnt want to wait for them to come out either, but you have to for them to value the claim correctly...
