Did I go too far?

I'm putting together a welding rig. I bought this dodge with a flatbed on it and wrestled with different ideas concerning maximizing storage capacity and layout of a self-built bed. Then I stumbled upon this gem on craigslist. The utility bed was off of a 1986 Ford F600 that was a Pacific Bell truck, still has the company logo on the mud flaps!
For $200 bucks, I didnt think I could go wrong. I drove 2 hours to look it over. It was in an auto dismantling yard. I offered the guy $100 bucks. He laughed and said he could recycle it for more than that. I fired back with $150. At that point he just turned around and walked away. I was right behind him with the $200.

It was a gamble, but I am satisfied with the outcome. I thought the wheelwell would be way to big, but I think it works out, what do you all think?

Doesn't look too bad. Need to slide it ahead just a little and put some 19.5's on it. The truck seems to carry it well, I hope the welder doesn't overload it on ya.
You got a good deal, something like that usually goes over $1k here.

It looks dam good for 200 bucks. Looks like it has some good storage too.

Yea, the storage is unbelievable. The box nearest the cab runs through the other side and has a slide out oxygen/argon rack. When I saw that, it was true love.
