Clean SWB Fleetside Box??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

How easy is it for you to find a clean SWB fleetside box where you live? Clean being no rust and minimal "dentage".

I've been looking for one up here in Alberta but, most of them are rusted or trashed. I was originally thinking of just buying all new panels and making a brand new box but Ive heard that aftermarket panels are best left as a last resort, so I might just try to find a box in the Mid-Northwest and make a road trip down and pick it up.

How much would a box like that go for? and Are they hard or easy to find?

Thanks,
Wes
