Best place to get a new truck bed?

I've been tossing around the idea of putting a standard truck bed back on my '62. However, I wasn't the one that built the flatbed and I have no idea where the factory bed ended up at (I have a sinking suspicion that it was sent to the scrapyard). Where would be the best place to find a stepside bed and fenders for my truck without spending an arm and a leg in the process? I'm not really interested in basket cases that have rust issues, but the truck is by no means perfect, so I'm not real picky.

That'll be a long step you're looking for...?
