1978 Long bed

I am needing help find a long bed for my truck. I have searched everywhere. I am in Dallas. Anyone have any help for me to locate one?

I could look to see where the previous owner got the parts to re-do the bed on my 78 long bed
he bought sides and then the floor?
I have all of the receipts now and what I remember seeing the cost was very reasonable, allot cheaper than my 66 rebuild was

I know about Southern but they want $3000 for a bed. LMC truck sells the skins to replace the bed sides but if I can find an entire bed I would rather go that way.
