53 f100 flatbed

i just got a 53 f100 and i am pretty sure it was a flatbed although there isn't a bed on it. my question is how hard will it be to get the right flatbed for it? i am assuming it was a factory option? i will post pics when i figure that part out. thanks, george

The half ton flatbed isn't easy to find. I see you live in SD. You might check the yard in Mitchell or the one near Hartford. If you live further west there are a lot of yards north of Rapid City along I-90. Otherwise, I believe our friend Josh Madsen has one available in Salt Lake City. Stu

Asking and getting aren't the same. It's got the spare carrier, and isn't half way across the country from you. I think it's worth checking into. Stu

I figured $800 was about what I could have gotten it for, now I'm thinking $500-600
it would sure save me a bunch of time and money and I already have the shorty running boards...............
