Does anyone know of a good resource to get beds from? The old girl is getting all of the body work done finally and decided to just get a whole new bed. Any direction would help thanks.
New bed??

I've seen a few companies on Craigslist that go to non-rust belt states and haul back truck loads of good vintage body parts.
I just searched here "rust free truck beds" and a PA place came up. YMMV

Looks like those new beds are 99 and on up.
Probably take offs for a contractor bed or what ever.
Finding a bed for our vintage trucks, in your rust belt region, good luck, go west young man, or south to Texas etc....
Check CL, Face Book or what ever you are on, F-150`s are the same body parts . they don`t always seem to be as tore up as the 250/350`s .
Iam in Nevada, and see trucks in our local PNP with good bodies w/o rust and dents all the time.
About 4 yrs ago I picked up a bed I saw on CL, but had to drive 75 miles to get it. $300. Fair condition couple lil Boo Boo`s . I needed more yard art.

I actually bought my dually from a guy that deals in truck beds like that. The reason he hadn't pulled my truck bed was that he figured someone would appreciate an old truck in that good a shape. I've got a couple old school junkyards around me here in Majestic NW Florida.

Went with my buddy to local pick n pull to get a new bed for his Ranger - don't remember seeing many full-size fords but wasn't really looking. He sold the old bed on craigslist. These were already mentioned but are where i would start
Im swimming in pickup beds (dodge) that are too good to throw away, but too rough to fetch any $$. All I can get for patch panels are the wheel arch area.
I say cut and paste till you have something basically solid and not too rough. A plastic bedliner is a fast way to make the inside look good.
I did manage to get an old flatbed fitted and looking half decent. Working out much better than a pickup bed actually.

Decided to go with a flat bed. I'll post my old bed for sale on the forum.
