Replacement bed question

Just discovered when I removed the plastic bedliner to spray on a liner, that i have some serious rust issues toward the front bulkhead of the bed. Frame is in good shape for now, but now I need to either replace the bed, or attempt to fix this with the limited time I have. Without an infant and a toddler, this would be a fun welding project, but I just don't see how it's possible.

My question: Found a replacement double cab bed (I have the one without fender flares), but it is listed as a 2WD version. Is there a difference between 2WD and 4WD beds? Both are for a double cab. Thanks in advance

 

My understanding is that dbl cab body same 2wd & 4wd. Check fuel filler door location and mounts to verify those line up. How’s the color difference?

 

Oh it is totally different. Silver vs my blue steel metallic. But since I have the model without flares, I'll have to take what I can find

 

It's too bad you're so far away. I literally just swapped my bed for a new one and am trying to sell my old one, which is blue steel metallic. But there shouldn't be any difference between 2WD and 4WD beds. 4WD stuff is all up front.

 

Make sure you understand which cab type you have. The Access cab has the 4 doors that the rear doors open clam shell or suicide style only after the front doors are open. The Double cab has the 4 full doors that open independent of each other like normal doors. The beds are not interchangeable between AC and DC trucks. Doesn't matter what drive train you have, all the AC beds are the same and all the DC beds are the same. You can swap your fenders over to the new one.

 

Yes, I'm fully aware of the differences between the bed for access, double, etc. Here are some photos. The tail lights should be indication enough that it is double cab. My only concern is if there is some weird thing that makes a 2WD bed different. I have the vin number of the bed I'll have to run it through my dealership to double check.
Also, looks super clean underneath and only surface rust on top

 

I only mentioned it because you listed yours as a “dual cab”.

 

Never noticed that was on my profile. Appreciate the heads up.
