Ebay would probally be the best place.
A guy I know bought his Ranch Hand from a salvage yard for I think $300. Front full replacement, legend series. One of the mounting brackets was bent, he had it replaced for cheap, and was good to go.

Then this can be moved to the correct section.

I got what I consider a good deal recently on EBay. (KBMill2), with almost 59,000 transactions, I would say they are reputable sellers.
I bought a set of stainless nerf bars (tube steps), on my door step in a week for $156.00! The hardware was suprisingly decent and very stout, the installation went very smooth. I have been searching for these for a few months now, went to Pep Boys and other auto parts places, they were ranging from about $190 for the black steel ones to as high as $400 for stainless. I know they don't have Westin or some other brand name stamped on the tread, but I am here to tell you, they are pretty nice pieces and I expect them to outlast my ownership of the truck.
I like the way they dress up the truck, and as a bonus back seat passengers can now get in and out. I also like the fact that car doors will now smack the bars instead of my doors.
