73-79 Long boxes?

Just wondering if anyone knows where to find a rust free long box for a 73-79 f250? I am in Canada and its slim pickings, at least on the internet. I imagine there must be lots of these down in the States but perhaps they aren't listed online?

New or used is fine by me as long as they are rust free.

Anyone have any advice or sources?

Thanks!

Good luck, its slim here too, I'm in the northeast. I pieced one together from a solid outer shell (74), and MIG'd in a nice solid bed floor and header panel from an '86. Full repair panels for these are available new,(not cheap) had I been building a show piece, Id've gone that route.

F100/350's use the same Styleside beds except F350 Regular Cabs on the 140" wheelbase. 1973/76's have exposed fuel caps, 1977/79's have fuel doors.

There's a 1977/79 F100/350 8' Styleside bed (not an F350 140" wheelbase) at an Opel wrecking yard in Rialto CA .. It has Race Track mouldings.
