Got any companies near by that install utility beds? They should have some new take offs for sale. I'm sure the dealer sells them, but even thinking of asking for a price makes me sick. A junk yard might be a good place for both items if they don't need to be brand new. You might be able to find some rust and dent free ones.

Best place is to find a new truck body place. They sometimes have new or close to new take offs in stock. You can try car-part.com and enter it in what your looking for through a search which has most junk yards in the usa on that website. Best thing to do is get a new take off and undercoat it with por-15 and bedliner that way it dont rust.

Be prepared to dig pretty deep for a new bed or one in good shape. There's a junkyard in Tampa that has stacks of new beds. They're all white, taken off to have service beds installed. They quoted me $2500 for a bed. This place is known to be pretty proud of their stuff, but still...........

I swear these trucks are worth less than the sum of their parts. I ended up giving $1200 for a pretty nice dually bed that just needs a little work. As was suggested, check local small junkyards (that's where I found mine), Craigslist, and Ebay.

Good luck.
