i would have said LMC right away, but i checked and i cant find any Dually stuff on there. you can pick up new bedsides for $500 ea, but i think your best bet would be to find a wrecking yard with a 94-02 dually (not sure if they accually made duallys in '94) and grab the box. you should be able to use a longbox and add the fenders yourself.
happy hunting.

this place is a dodge-specific junkyard.
they are in kentucky so if you planned on driving that far you could probably get one from them. i know that they just recently started shipping parts but i don't know if they would ship an entire bed.

Using a non-dually bed on a dually would not work. The dually beds have riveted mounts behind the bedside. Transfering those to a non dually bed would take some really good measuring to get it right. Can it be done? Yes. Is if feasible? No.

94-98 dually beds will fit your 98. Sounds like you have been limiting your search to 98-02. The only difference between the 94-97 boxes and the 98-02 boxes is the moulding trim. And that can eaisly be removed with a heat gun. I also think that the clearance lights might be different.

Find yourself a local place that does utility bodies on trucks. They will almost always have new take off units there or they deal with someone who takes them off their hands when they do the swap over. You should be able to pick one up for a couple hundred.
