The last bed I bought was from Tood Murthum up in Detriot.You can order from him with no stake pockets or unwanted holes.I don't remember what the cost was.I plan on ordering my current project bed from Todd too.

I bought a ProsPick bed including all hardware, new tailgate, oak floor, SS strips with hidden bolts, and hidden tailgate latch for around $2600.

I have heard some good things about Mack Hills in Missouri but have never tried anything from them.

48 bed

I bought the bed you are talking about for my 48. I was very impressed with it. And I bought a set of running boards and rear fenders for my 47 truck. As far as i am concerned thats the place I'll buy all of my stuff from.
