I recently bought an F350 and the bed floor was pretty rotted out, I went to NPD (National Parts Depot) today and bought a repair panel for it (96" x 27") for $93 inc tax. It covers half the floor (2 needed for full floor) or they do a reproduction 1 piece bed floor for $350 + tax.
I've been looking around the internet for a couple of weeks for a replacement bed, the average price I found was $800 - $1000 for a decent used bed, hence the repair panel.

If you want one that isn't rusted out contact junk yards in Texas to look. They don't use salt and don't rust out like they do in the northernparts of the US, several years ago I found a stepside bed for my 84 with a wood floor for $900 (including shipping) that had no rust holes, some surface rust but nothing major at all.

Called my local junkyard, and was quoted 450 for a used bed in decent condition. Just remember, if you like woodworking, build a wooden flatbed like i'm doing. I figure the most i've spent on it is about 150 for all the wood, maybe another 30 for all the bolts/hardware. It looks decent enough. I made the top out of 2x10's pressure treated, and used an assortment of 4x4's /2x4's for the cross beams. So far i have my cross beams bolted to the frame, and i have the sides bolted to the cross beams, so now all i need to do is figure out how i'm going to do my gas doors, and then bolt the 2x10's down. It actually looks pretty sweet. At least, i can picture my rusty old truck being gloss black, with stacks, wooden bed all bolted down with all my marker lights hooked up. It will be one scary looking truck when its all done.
