Obviously, a new bed will not work because it will just crush the same way this one did.

From what your pictures show to me (in my opinion) your current box is not worth repairing.
Here's my .02c
Option (1) Replace box with a flat bed with side tool boxes.
Option (2) Find a southern take off box in good shape and reinforce where you know reinforcement is needed before installing.
Good luck

Totally agree with this. You have to start somewhere, and that is with a new bed that has no rust or damage. I would NEVER consider repairing the bed you have, its scrap metal. Then you can examine where yours is taking the loads and reinforce those areas. Given it appears to be a LOT of weight, I second the flat bed conversion, but do it in ALUMINUM.
