Pick up bed

So for reasons i dont wanna get into i need a bed for my truck.

Its a 2000 xlt with a 6.5 ft styleside without wheel moldings.

Does anybody know of anywhere I can get one. Better yet in Colorado. I have a few that I have found but they are out of state and im worried about how much shipping is.

Any ideas?

Thanks everyone

I see tons of truck beds at junk yards in MD all the time. No luck in your area? Usually finding front end parts are the toughest with most collisions from the front end.

If you find one relatively close to you, it may be worth while to take a road trip and get it mounted and then drive back.

Not for reasonable prices. And my truck is vermillion which apparently is a b**** to find.

I guess im having a hard time feeling 1500 dollars for a bed that is the wrong color, no tailgate, alot of times no bumper, and almost all with dents etc. so tack another 1000 for repaint.

If i could get vermillion id be all over it.

I've been looking for a flareside bed for my 99, and I'm in Colorado too, any beds for this body style are hard to find

Hard to find beds in general.

It may have to wait.

I saw a bed on Craigslist here in Denver. Price seems reasonable at $250 (with spray-in liner):

Good luck bro

Great price. I'd jump on it, if it's solid.

OP , - To find one close to home and compare prices for anything F150, head over here and type in what you want. They search the yards for yuh free and fast. They give you locations phone numbers and you can compare pricing. Just takes a couple minutes.

Have to type in your zip, they search from your local outwards. -

I've used them for years...

Now one more quick question. That bed in denver has wheel well lip moldings. Mine does not and i do not want them. Is there holes to fill or is that just pop off?
