I bought one from a company in Flint, MI about 20 months ago for mine, 1997 F250 long bed dual fuel tanks - same bed you need for yours. They dropped it off at the body shop in Cincinnati on their way through from Georgia to Flint where they bought it and many others to resell up north. It had some dings and such the shop had to fix before they painted to match the truck but there was absolutely NO rust anywhere on it, top/bottom/under fenders - nowhere.
LINK TO WEB SITE - they have changed the company name but the phone exchange is the same so I think it is the same folks I dealt with.
If you check the free auto/bike/boat/rv/trailer "rags" that are available in grocery stores they often have ads in the "rebuildables" section for folks who go south and bring body parts back north to resell.
Check your local parts trader for anyone parting out a longbed pickup. I also find ads in there from places that install commercial truck bodies selling the pickup beds they take off the trucks.
