Changing from bed to flatbed possibly?

Guys-

I can't seem to find a replacement long box for my 89 350LE SRW so I was thinking of going to a nice utility bed. Ideally I'm looking for something reasonable, not something over $2,000. Can anybody recommend a good one?

Or if anybody knows where I can get a box that would be great. I have one located in Montana but the $450 freight is pretty high.

Can you point me in the right direction as to who I could possibly talk to on them? If they are really nice I could deal with the price.

Flatbed

Man, watch Craigslist. I've seen a 1/2 dozen go by for about a grand. Nice ones too. My 96 Chevy toasted its motor today and I'm planning on pulling the flatbed off of it and putting it on my '93 D250. Handier than a pocket ona shirt.
