Checked Auto Krafter and could not find any bed kits. Purchased bed kit and parts from obsoletefordparts.com and John's Fun 100's (f100.com). Kind of pricey and usually is just for the bed kit. If you need cross sill, etc. that is additional. Not sure if you can buy the strips separately; if so, may want to see if you can save any money by purchasing the wood at local lumber yard. The wood in the kits is usually oak. I had to replace some sills which made it little bit more labor intensive. If i recall the strips are pre-drilled and the wood you drill the holes. If you decide to go that route, the kit will come w/ directions. I did not find it that difficult, and although i use the truck for hauling, it looked good.
Suggest going to their web sites and checking out their online catalog. Perhaps other members will be able to provide additional input.
Good luck,
dave
