Looking for a 1975 f250 8' truck bed

I bought a 1975 high boy from a friend and the bed is basically scrap. I am looking for an 8' F-250 (with one gas hole) bed that isn't all rusted out. Can anyone help me out?

OK since it was left open for so long I'll break the bad news. Odds are you won't find a good rust free highboy bed. BUT, if you do..... BUY IT. I've read tons of responses on the forum about other means to the same end, and from personal experience, You will be money (and time) ahead to just find ANY 8' box from the proper period (fuel doors / no doors) My own truck is sporting the ENTIRE body off of a 2wd truck due to the limitations I set myself, mainly 90% one color rust free (mostly) and fairly straight. that said its NOT that hard to put a standard bed on your highboy. there are two schools of thought on this, weld tabs onto your frame to widen it to the holes in your bed OR drill new holes in the bed, to match those in your frame.
