720 have a seam half way up the bed which was caulked over, this rusts like nobodys business. I am curious as to whether that Mazda bed was a direct bolt on affair or not.

Be glad your bed isn't rusted to crap. If it bothers you that it doesn't look like a datty from the back you could try swapping tail lights, but just know that will be as fun as replacing rust usually is.

I did see one on Ebay not too long back, but I think it was for local pick-up. I have a feeling that you will be in for a really good search for one, if you really want it. The Mazda one doesn't look too bad.
