Looking for a flatbed for my '53 C500

I'm looking for a 12-14 foot long flatbed for my '53. What I'm looking for is one with the ribbed metal sides. The older trucks had sides that were ribbed with round corners, not flat like today's trucks. I found a nice one in Wyoming, but it would be a big pain to get it home to Queen Creek! Anyone know of one sitting somewhere?
Thanks guys. Hope this heat ends soon and you are doing well.
Ken.

Not what you are looking for. The f350 he sold a couple years ago had the bed you are looking for.
here is what he has, also a military bed off of a duce and a half.

Thanks! I'm needing a bed 12 foot long. I'm wondering if I could cut out 6 foot of the front and use 3 foot on each side. Then fabricate something to replace the front section up against the cab?
