Would like a Utility type bed.....

Seem like such a waste to have all the area that the fenders take up. I would like to make mine into a work truck that would replace the bed with a utility body type flat bed that I could still haul my camper and have a place to store tools and etc. Any ideas anyone? $3000 or less? Thanks

I wish Hide-N-Side would come back, I'd buy one of these in a second no matter the price!

if you do some leg work you can get a utility bed for under 500 bucks. just start hitting some of the pick a part type yards. i have bought them for under 300 bucks. the only problem i have had is that i keep putting more and more stuff in the trucks till they weigh a ton.
