i have a 56 F100 and I need a bad for it it is a short bed

 

Are you looking for new or used? If used, do you need all of it, parts? what condition is acceptable? Beds are difficult to ship because of size, weight and potential for damage. The repro beds are shipped "knocked down". Have you checked your local salvage yards, the same bed was used for a number of years. Might put a "wanted" ad on your local Craigslist.
Oh, and welcome to FTE!

 

Welcome! I see you are in Missouri, so you might check out Mack's at www.mackhils.com . They are located in Moberly. If you are close to Oklahoma, then Mar-K (www.mar-k.com) is in OKC. I have used their products and have been very satisfied with them.
Good Luck!

 

im looking for a used bed and not in bad condition

 

Good Luck finding one in good condition. You will need one from a 53-56 as I think the later years (57-72) have the fenders moved up ~2" on the bed sides. The fenders will work from the later years if you don't mind patching and redrilling the holes for the running board mounts. The front panel, tailgate and crossmembers are the same for all of those years. Sometimes it's cheaper to buy the new stuff than to rework 50 year old sheet metal.
Good Luck!

 

Welcome to the board!

You might try keeping your eye out locally for a pick-up bed trailer. Alot of times you can pick up a decent pick-up bed trailer for a couple hundred bucks (it takes a bit of searching because most people selling them just list them as pick-up bed trailers and don't give a make or a year)

Good luck with it

Where are you located? I have the bed from a 53 that I am going to be selling. Overall it doesnt seem to bad but there will be work.

I have one off my 56 f100 and its in fairly decent shape w/ tailgate. Im located in dallas tx. I'll make you a great deal.

 

If you have not found what you are looking for, I might have something you can work with.
I bought a 48 and it had a 5x-7x stepside bed with it (not attached).
I had it posted for sale way back when on here, I will see if it is still archived anywhere. That would give you an idea of condition.
Else I will dig up some pics if you tell me you are interested.
By the way, I am in MO also, near Jefferson City (less then 4 hours).
