It is REAL important what year in the 50's it is as to availability. This would pertain to Canadian Fargo as well as Dodge.
As to finding a box to buy:
1st Series (46 to early 51) boxes are not all that plentiful, but are a little easier to find compared to the others and there was one run of repro's recently made by Dave Maher of Precisioin Coachworks.
2nd series (late 51 to 56 I believe) are extremely rare, I rebuilt mine (lots of welding) because there are none out there.
3rd series (57-71) are a little more common than 2nd series, but not all that common to see.
Compared to Chevy and Ford where you can basically buy whatever you want repro, Dodge stuff is more rare and valuable.
