NOS Beds?

NOS Beds?
Am I reading this right? Are bed assemblies still available(although pricey)? Would that include the fender flares and a tailgate? It seems crazy that they are still available to purchase and in body colors too.

Two thoughts here, based on my experiences chasing new OEM parts for older trucks. What I have found is that sometimes a part is listed with a price (looks like you can buy it & get it) instead of the usual "No Longer Available", but that doesn't mean the part is actually available. redman13's advice is sound. Get an actual human on the phone & verify that it's available.
Second, it may actually be available. In other areas of the world other than the U.S., the older style of trucks were often produced far beyond the "production end date" for U.S. sold models. Plus other parts of the world are not so "disposable" about their vehicles, continuing to fix & use them, so parts for those "older" models are still readily available there. I've seen several examples of this on Ebay (especially thru Thailand sellers) and some smart cookies here in the states are buying some quantities of these parts, bringing them here & selling them here. It would be a big investment but someone here could be importing these "foreign" parts to the U.S. to sell them here. That could be the case.
Still, best idea is to get positive verification on availability to be sure.
