2001 - 8' bed
I have a 2001 super cab with an 8' bed. The bed channels are rusted away except for two. I am capable of removeing and repairing the bed however:
1. I would consider a replacement bad if it is of the same years. All the dealers around me seem to only have the newr beds with the different wheel arch.
Does anyone know of a place that has beds that is not terribly far from Pittsburgh PA? Maybe 250 mile radius or so?
2. Does anyone have a source for pre-bent channels to repair my bed?
3. Are the tailgates of the 2001 to present all the same or different besides the ' SUPER DUTY ' pressed into the skin.

I'm in the same boat you are. I plan on pulling my bed this summer and making a decision then to repair, replace, or go with a flatbed. Check out this link
2011 ford super duty 8' beds
I think he is near Franklin/Oil City area...not too too far from Pittsburgh. 1500 is a fair price for a new bed up here in the rust belt. From what I have read, don't quote me on it, they are a direct swap for the 99-04 just a slightly different body line. The negative is that you'll probably need it painted. That is why I've been considering a flatbed since the basic setups are no more than a take off bed.

I replaced the beds on my 2000 and 2002 with 2013 take offs. The beds cost me $1500 which included the tailgates, the bolts cost me $80 from Ford and other than extending the wiring for the reverse lights, everything fit right in place. I undercoated the new beds heavily before setting them in place. Also added the Ford fender liners (surprisingly cheap from Ford for the set). My 2002 is a Oxford White Lariat with the gold accent, so it cost an extra $400 to get that painted on and then pinstriped. The 2000 is black so no repainting was required. I have a bed topper and ladder rack that I use on both trucks when needed and didn't want to lose the functionality by going with a flat bed.
