Default hauler/pickup bed for the new Chassis Cab?

I am trying to find a company that has either a hauler bed or a pick-up type bed for the new chassis cab ram. I am trying to currently get my 2006 F550 6.0L hauler bought back by Ford (I just contacted a lemon law attorney this week) so I am looking at my replacement and trying to get everything in line and ready.

I have tried to search the web for a bed and have found very little for the Dodge. I have a bed from Manning on my Ford but I think they only do Fords since they are right across the street from the KTP.

Your help with this is grealy appreciated.

Did a search and found these two sites
http://www.herrinhauler.com
http://westernhauler.com
The search subject I used was hauler truck bed.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the help. Thoses were also the only two that I could find... I was just hoping that there would be more with the new chassis cab this year

give it a little time and you will see all sorts of manufacturers popping up with stuff for the chassis cab trucks.

I do want to give it time but in the next few weeks I might be purchasing a 6.7L to replace my 6.0L ford with lots of problems and I will need a hauler bed for my wedge car trailer.

western hauler and Herrin hauler are the only two I know of. I just bought a chasis cab and I built the bed myself. mabe you can find a contract welder and have him build you a custom bed. (any way you want it.) I understand time is an issue. good luck

Im in Louisiana, I have $3000.00 in material alone on my bed. It took me approx 6 or 7 weeks to complete it (mon thru Fri. I would work on it about 3 hrs at nite) and then on the weekendsI would spend 10 hrs on Sat and 8 hrs on Sun.
I have a friend who has a fab. shop and he builds them anyway you want em but he is expensive.They do awesome work. My bed would have costed me about $10,500.00 at his shop. thats including paint.
2500.00 is very very cheap. Like I said I have 3000.00 in steel, lights, hinges etc. not including my labor. which in Louisiana right now Is averaging 52.00 per hour.

Thanks for all the responses. I am in NE Ohio and would travel some distance within reason to get a bed.

I'll have to ask a friend of mine if he has any idea of someone that could do a custom bed locally.
