Looking for used bed

Hi all, I am in the market for a used bed for my 56 in the midwest area, I live in Indianapolis IN. I am looking for one that might need a little work but not a basket case. For me to get my truck on the road before I die I have revised my game plan and am trying to get by as cheap as I can which means not getting a new bed for now. Please contact me off line dwj9124, attach yahoo.com to that and thats my email, thanks.
Dave

I actually gave my bed away about a year ago, I did not have room to store it and at that time I was going to go ahead and put a new bed on it, whoops!

I emailed you about 2 beds we have. I am parting out a 53. We are about 3 hours west of you.

When I bought my 48 it had a 50s bed on it. Too bad you don't have a 48-49 bed you are looking to get rid of. I like trades.

Remember the same bed was used on 51-72 step sides. Fenders were the same from 53-72, however the fenders were placed higher on the later beds and this will make it hard to get your running boards on right, but can work.

check out my bed in my gallery.
