It Never Hurts To Ask ...
Just thought I'd put this out there just in case. I'm looking to trade my 1960 style side bed for a side step bed. You bring your truck and tools and we'll make the trade. I don't care about paint as long as it's not to rusty. Can post pics of mine if anybody's intrested.

Here's another suggestion for you in your search for beds. Keep your eyes peeled in your local classifieds, etc for pick-up bed trailers. Alot of the time they can be picked up pretty cheap, you can swap the beds out and then resell the trailer and sometiems even make money on the deal.
I have had decent luck doing it that way a couple of times.

this may seem kinda obvious but used car lots { i just found a 64 that is completely rotted in the cab but a beautiful stepside bed for my son in law on one for 250 } and wander out into the rural areas you'd be suprised what you find behind sheds , barns etc..

Bobby has a good idea. I found a trailer in a small town near here made from a 55 ford short narrow bed that is rust free with a few very small dents. I'm trying to talk the guy out of it. we'll see what happens. .................RUSTY

How about I sweet'n the deal by showing how good the bed works and say that my husband works in "Anaheim". For "Someone".
Look at the solid craftsman ship. And I got two of those loads ...
Look how low she is and I still haven't even watered her down yet ...

You should have seen my face. I thought they we're just going to shovel it in and then they dump about a ton and a half of it. And this truck is still all original. Even the leaf springs.
And just FYI "It" is Grade A Cow *****. Seriously, I got four tickets to the Angels game in the Diamond Club for doing this. Well worth it.
So still no takers?
