bed problems

ok i just got a 69 f350 duallie with a 9ft by 9ft utility box on the back which i have removed(made a great work shop) now what im wondering is will a regular long bed fit. i have the 159wb. its 9ft of frame from the back of the cab to bumper.i really dont want to put a flatbed on it because i already have 2 flatbeds 1990 idi e40d crew cab 8 ft flat bed, 2005 6.0l 5 spd auto crew cab 10ft flatbed. the 69 was a cab chassis. it has 26000 documented orinagal miles 300 i6 and 4 spd 4:56 gears. it has sat since 93 because of a bad coil. the 300 is coming out and im putting a slightly warmed over 351m and 4spd out of a 82 f250 in its place. any suggestions on a bed that might fit and look halfway decent? i am a pretty good fabicatior so i can make anything work. i was thinking of finding 2 step side beds and making a long stepside or am i barking way up the wrong tree here.
any and all ideas are welcomed and greatly apprectied.

First year Ford offered a Styleside bed with DRW: 1980. These have fibreglass rear fenders that bolt to the bedsides.

All 1953/79 F350's with DRW were sold as a Cab & Chassis, or with a factory installed Stake or Flat Bed.
