Surly any panel beater or smash repair shop is a good start.
Ring some wreckers in your area for a tub. |

Bugger. Have a look at Ebay or Trading Post for a Tub - maybe even someone who does alum trays might have some laying around. They seem to sell for between $500 and $1k.... if you're lucky you'll find one in your colour.
You can swap it over yourself with the help of a mate or two. Stuff happens sometimes eh? |

Try places that do tray bodies and places that make tradesmans bodies. I got a rodeo ute body for free last year from a guy who was changing to an aluminum tray. They wanted $250 to remove it and dispose of it!
Also have heard places that make trademate bodies have heaps of ute bodies lying around without a use. |

Serves you right for buying the el cheapo Bunnings $9.95 one instead of the elspensivo German one for $750 at Home Hardware. Theres no substitute for an outragously expensive bit of gear you are only going to use once.
