New bed

I have been wanting to take my flat bed off and put a reg. bed on the truck.After alot of searching......everything I find needs a bit of work(body shop work$$$$...if I was capable of doing it it would not be a problem).

Has anyone seen a 99+ bed mounted with an OBS cab?Pics would be a bonus.I figure I can run my r. tank off of my aux tank so I need not worry about them having a single tank.

The 99+ bed are easy to find(found some 08 complete for 600.00).........anyways its just a thought.If you have pics or a comment would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

don't know how far from Indiana you are but there is a place is Bristol, IN called Dicks Truck parts that has beds in good shape for the OBS don't really know prices though. I am sure you could put a SD bed on an OBS my buddy has a 78 Pickup that has a bed from a 95 truck on it wasn't any real issues with mounting that.
