65 c30 Dually Bed

Hi - I'm reviving my old 65 c30 project that got moved aside for a few years to work on other things. A little background on the truck: I converted it to a late model 1 ton front end (square body donor) and a 14 bolt dually rear end. I did all the rust repair, paint and body, motor rebuild (230), mechanicals about 5 years ago and it's been sitting. Got her all plumbed up and will be wrapping up the wiring and all the glass this week. Pic below (on the lift) of when I started back on it back in July - been sitting, filthy.

Next area of focus will be the bed. I've run across a few with the same style (below) that appear to be common to that year (I could be wrong) and would like to go in that direction. I like the rounded corners and feel it goes with the curves of the truck better.

Just curious if anyone is familiar with that bed style and more so, know where I can buy the steel to fabricate one? I haven't checked with my local steel dealer, but feel it's not something they would carry. Maybe a trailer/bed fabricator in my area? I've been keeping an eye out for an "original" one and not having much luck. I can always go with the normal square corners etc. but thought I would give you guys a shot.

Thanks in advance!

That ribbed flatbed is the one I prefer on any dually myself. I would like to know if/when you locate
