When I go to the junkyards around here, the beds I see that come in get shipped up north faster than the truck gets on the lot. They will pull them and ship them before they let anyone pick at them. I don't know who gets them, just that they go very quickly. Maybe you could give a heads up to some of your contacts to keep an eye out for the availability of one in another state.

Even down here in texas I had to buy a whole truck to get a bed. Findin a good parts truck is far more likely then findin just a bed.

+1 to finding a parts truck, but I can tell you that here in AZ beds are not too hard to find. If you end up having one shipped, and are not in a huge hurry, get a hold of a LTL or hot shot trucking outfit, and see about a stand by back haul. It can save you a lot of money in freight charges, and helps out a small business man in the process!

Hmmmm..... I'm wanting to get a bed from Tulsa to Denver, would those people you mention do this, and do you know what it'd cost me?
