Bed swap to flairside

I found a good bed same color as my truck but it is a flairside. Would this mount to my truck without issues? I searched for this but havent been able to find anything. Some of you may thing it sounds like a bad idea but Im a big fan of the flairsides. Now my bed has a rust spot on the bottom bedside that will need fixed but I cant do body work and I just cant imagine what a shop would charge. Its just a thought... I cant weld so I cant fix the spot myself. Anyone ever used the 3m body adhesive? I heard of a few body shops using it in lieu of welding but to me that is pissing in the wind because I dont do body work.

Having a flareside myself, that's a great idea. I believe it's little more than a bed swap, fuel filler neck and bumper.
