47-55.1 Need a bed, what are my best options?

[Florida5100]

Back in 87 i bought my first car - a 1950 Chevy pick'em up truck. 5-window, original straight 6, 3-on-the-tree, and bondo. After high school I parked it in my parent's barn.

Now I'm trying to get it back on the road.

Current issue is the bed was rusted/beat-up and bondoed in the early 70s (even had a diamond plate panels welded in as a bed floor) and now could really just use a swap.

Anyone got an opinion on the best (cheapest) way to get an original or original-looking no-rust/no-damage bed on it? I'm kind of hankering for the 54 side-mount spare if I'm going to go to too much trouble.
