Have you checked out the local craigslist and maybe this guy for a lead on one in state? Yes maybe a little far to drive?

Have you contact your FTE state chapter and see if you can get a lead from any one there?

look into buying a parts truck. It is cheaper in the long run and you can part it out/crush it when you have all the parts you want/need.

I have one off a 76 highboy. It is not perfect, but it is not all rusted out either. If interested send me a PM. I'm in Michigan also.

I have talked to the place that sells all the front clips, the also sell beds but there beds go to a reconditioning process and they sell them in as new/rebuilt with a hefty price tag of $2000+ and that's out of the question right now.
