97 F150 Flareside Bed Question

I'm looking at buying a 97 Flareside Bed and it has two cracks on the one side from a roll over, the bed looks to be fiberglass but was told it's a composite material? Is the composite material repairable?

Thanks

Yes, fiberglass repair can be made on it. Got any pics of the damage?

So is the bed fiberglass or composite? I was told if composite the fiberglass would not stick.

Working on picture.

Thanks

Use a body glue [3M brand] for the crack and glaze over it with a filler. Check with your local paint supply store for product details. Go to PPG or Dupont website for more info.
