Srw is DRW? I have a pretty clean 2001 drw box off my Cummins, original owner pulled it off at 50k miles for a steel flatbed

Damn, sorry, SRW. Seems like the duals are a lot easier to find.

This will just take time, have to continually hit some or all of what you guys have posted. thanks.

It's pretty common for the guys here in OH to make trips out west and come back with a trailer full of stock. These vintage trucks are very popular now and seem to bring top dollar. 100K mi Cummins, 1998-2002 nice bodies are trading for upwards of $25K! 60-80K mi examples are going for $30K. I thought they were outrageous 8 years ago at $18K, should have hoarded some. The single cab 8ft bed 5-speed manual are the rarest, they are all rusted unless someone kept one for a hotrod, inside and garaged. Stock setups are hard to find also. Great trucks, I want to keep this one on the road. I daily it.

The 8' box install on my '01 drw Dodge was the last component to make it rust free! (While the bed was off the frame was blasted and primed) the only other piece that was rusted on the rocker was cutout & replaced with LMC part.....everything now is rust free.
I'm in south Jersey, but traveled to Medina, Ohio to buy the dodge ram with 108K miles on it.....Also, .it's non "53" Cummins Truck which I didn't know anything about at the time...just lucky I guess!.....I bought it for $13K almost 3 years ago.. it now has 114K on
her....wonder what she is worth.

I live in North Carolina. Smaller local junk yards are full of rust free beds for all trucks. No problem finding one here.

Can you put me in touch with reputable one or two?

Here is the truck - 2001 5-speed 106K mi, really nice shape. I knew there was some touch up needed bottom side to keep any rust from ruining the truck. Uncovered more issues int he bed and am looking to just replace it instead of carving up and patching the body work. It's a really nice stock rig, not even a spot on the interior. I bought it with a video inspection, seller was not truthful and I got burned a little. I did not inspect it and had it shipped to me, lesson learned. I really like the truck and should last forever if I can take care of the bed and a few spots.

Scrippy, post your truck up. I bet it's worth close to 20K if it's clean. Good purchase.

I could use some info too. I've been sort of looking for a bed for a 2002 f250 short bed.

Here's my 2000 ram dually doing the only thing I use it for...hauling hay in the summer...at least until I buy a bigger boat that will require its use...107 on the clock NEVER been out in the winter salt crap..was left to me by my grandfather so it will be in my barn until I die only to come out and do some work occasionally...had 84k on it when he passed away in 2014 and since then I have done a plug in programmer, general maintenance, intake, exhaust, new stereo, and tinted it...only left is possibly some wheels at some point.

On a side note...scippy what headlights are those in yours? I like the one piece look

not the best pic but all I have handy

Justin...as far as beds...I can't remember the place's name offhand but it's in middlebury IN and they had craploads of beds last time I was there...actually bought one for an 88 ford dually project I have going...had a couple dings but not a speck of rust and I think I paid like 800 bucks for it..I'll try to find the name of the place

I think this is who you are looking for in Indiana.
