call Pat Walsh at 781.246.3266 - and see if they know - they have a lot of older Dodge parts ....like cab liners, firewalls, matts, visors, weatherseals etc ....
might check out www.rrfiberglass.net for some fenders / running boards ....
also www.vintagepowerwagons.com to see if they have any leads on body parts.
My brother had a older Dodge truck (think it was a 53 - but I'll have to ask him for sure) and he got several parts from Roberts Motor Parts - they are in your neck of the woods as well - West Newbury
www.robertsmotorparts.com
Kanter keeps a lot of parts as well: brakes, tranny stuff, carb kits, clutches, water pumps etc - check out
www.kanter.com
I'd also highly suggest going to your local bookstore and buying a copy of "Hemming Motor News" - may have some leads there as well....
You have a tough project ahead of you - hope things work out - I think you are going to have to press hard to find a complete truck bed - but dont give up !!!! If you call places and they dont have it - ask them to give you some one elses phone number or internet address for another lead - then I would suggest asking them if you could leave your name / number / email address if they run across one !
Let me know what you find out

Thanks for the info. Roberts motor parts are great for interior parts.I'll try the other web sites and let you know. I'll give you a little bit more info on my project. The truck is a 50 pick up with 440 out of a 69 roadrunner sitting on a 74 dodge pick up frame.The project has been going on for 12 years off and on and i have had a very difficult time the whole way so all the help i can get the better. Thanks

Chris,
Have you found a bed yet?
One place I would try if you haven't already is
www.dvap.com
That's Desert valley auto parts in Arizona. They have alot of rust free parts for older mopars. You can send them a list of what you need and they will get back to you with prices in a couple of days.
Good luck,
Rich

I have a 1950 + - 1/2 ton short bed that I have been using for parts for my 48 B-1-D. I am not in need of the bed, and your welcome to take a look at it. It is not in the best shape but it is workable. E mail me @ blyas@attbi.com It is in southern NH.
