So i got rear ended, need a bed

[Stinggrey 21 Rubi]

I am live in East GA. and need a new bed and tailgate. Some a-hole knock the heck out of my rubi when I was doing about 45 in a construction zone. The idiot that hit me was going so fast he actually passed me upside down in a Kia suv. Aside from a mangled bed and cracked wheel my Jt made it through really well.
So I need a bed that I want to shorten about 10-12 inches. I saw one of the hellcat powered Jt's with bobed bed and I love the look and thought of helping departure angle on this boat.

I know White Rock Dodge up in Canada had a bobbed hemi for sale. Not sure if Epic or Amw did the conversion and bed. Maybe reach out to them and see if they have any suggestions on it. I would love to bob my Mojave, but have a long list of other things that take priority. Lol

If your bed is a little smashed it might make sense to reuse it anyway. Have someone bob it and do the bodywork.
Or if you’re up for a monster project then DIY like this:

They sell this in aluminum too.
Assuming their insurance will pay for factory costs… which probably isn’t too far off this.

I assume nobody was injured.
Still suks

My back and neck hurt but doesn't appear to be permanent.

That is funny looking… but i like it. The truck would fit well in my tandem garage and I’d be able to park another car behind it.

Is there damage to your bed other than what is shown in the pic?

They might just want to replace the bedside.

The insurance company just wants to replace bed side and save the tailgate. These tailgates have aluminum and magnesium as well as steel so repairs are not straight forward. I think I am just going to buy a take off bed and have it shortened and painted. Coincidentally I have a grey jeep gladiator rental...

Very Typical of Insurance Adjusters.. Today's Newbees don't know crap about collision repair and good luck body shop working the aluminum straight (Oil Canning).. The body shop must push back on the estimate about repair the damaged tailgate; how about the bed floor too?

Floor is flat but I just noticed some none 90 angles from floor to sides. I am just gonna hold out and get a take off and have it sprayed. Should be fun dealing with adjusters on this
