Best I could say would be check the classified adds on these forums, ebay, and look around local boneyards, check classified adds in local news papers for none running trucks that you could just buy, get the bed, and part out the rest.

Ya, I cannot afford one either....yet

The way I look at is it will cost nearly the same to restore the original bed on my truck plus a whole lot of work. OEM bedsides can go for $400-$500 a peice. I don't trust that crap from china. An OEM tail gate will set you back another $400. You get what you pay for.
