how much you lookin' to spend,

I know they aren't cheap, but for a show truck or for racing they are perfect.

just scroll down to the 73-9 fibreglass parts, a new box is $3K


This site is a nation wide recycler they get stuff from all over the country. The best ones are abut $1100.

I would look south west , NV, arizona, NM, most are low rust, no salt on the roads there. I think there was a large Ford bone yard called KINGS or something like that in Vegas, suppose to have a big selection, I hope to go down there and window shop

I would look for a cheap beater truck and buy it for just the bed, or look in your local newspaper for a truck that is being parted out.

Where are you located? I have an 8 ft. bed unbolted from the truck and sitting in the yard. It is camoflauge, but no dents or rust.
