Good chevrolet square body parts source ?

I am putting my 78 plow truck back into regular service as a service body truck.
I need one frame crossmember, and having a really difficult time trying to find someone who will cut one off a frame for me .
I have all the others I need already I have been scouring E bay , craigs, and marketplace for a few months and still coming up short . The big guys around here only want to sell whole frames . They are bringing all their parts in from the southern ,and western states
You guys know of any good breakers out your way ?

PP member "Kaisen" has a square body specialty shop. He would know. Don't think he's here much if at all.

The Vice grip garage guy on YouTube orders a lot of sheet metal from somewhere for his various rusted to hell square bodies, but I don't recall. May have to watch a few of his videos.

Dynacorn in Camarillo, California. It would be new and retail and possibly already part of a complete frame. Most of their stuff is from offshore (China & Korea), but high quality. They have jigs to build a complete unibody and/or chassis for many Chev & Ford vehicles including trucks, late 40's thru 70's.
