I got $75 in mine($60 for the used bed).............It was once on a guys 1 ton Ferd and he replaced it with a dump box off a t-tag. He put it in the scrap iron pile at his dads yard and I spied it. I'd have gotten it right after he took it off the truck but I never thought he get around to it

Anyhow, his old man hit the side of it with their track-hoe so it has a pickle in the front corner but I made it work.............I got a headache rack on it that is pretty heavy. After I get it painted I think it will look good.

I know I'll never put another stock box on an older truck............All they do is rust and are a PITA if you actually use the truck. About the only thing I wish I did different was to put a wagon hoist under mine so it would have dumped

But then it wouldn't work to well with a gooseneck hitch(Don't have it on there yet.

Maybe some year I'll have pictures

Might want to look into finding a used one is my advice.
