anyone used or bought a pros pick bed

 

I bought the "pros pick" tail gate and rear crossmember with hidden hinges and latching. I like them a lot, but it took some custom touches because it wasn"t a "pros pick" bed

 

I bought a one a couple of weeks ago for my 48 but it won't be delivered until next Spring (at my request). It was more expensive than I thought it would be. I got the bed, crossmembers, hidden hinge tailgate, and oak floor and it was a little over $2600. I bought it at a show to save the $250 shipping cost although there is a $75 packing fee and it has to be delivered to a business.

Ouch thats a pretty penny, did that price include shipping?Sorry for the double post

 

Bought the PP set up for my 56 and am still impressed with the quality and lack of need for body work to clean up spot welds etc. If you buy at a show, the frt is free. If you buy direct, use caution, frt from Canada is costly, so ship to a business address or buy from a dealer. Most roll pans will not fit the PP bed and the wood is different dimension from the norm. The gate straps are wimpy but hold the weight of the tailgate up. It is still by far the best bet IMO.

 

Live in bfe outside Reno not many shows here.Want to use the new plastic wood ,new stuff has good grain but only come 6 inch wide.Is that enough width.Real wood doesnt bother me pretty easy work.

 

Hello to El Cabron! I made it back a-ok with the bed you helped me pick like a pro! Thank again!

 

there was a recent thread about the ''plastic wood'' and the consensus was that it gets REALLY hot (as opposed to wood) when left in the sun

 

I bought a Mar-K bed during their March madness sale. They offered free shipping, saved me about $400.00

 

I got a screamin deal on my bed from Northern CLassic Trucks. Unbelievable price, I thought there was a hitch at first, but the quality is very nice, and I'm picky. You'll save close to $1,000. I'll send you some pics if you want.
