Box or Bed?

Well here in Texas My pickup truck has an "eight foot bed that never has to be made", to quote a country music singer. It don't have a camper shell on it cause sometimes I haul stuff and the shell just gets in the way. If I am needing to go camping I take my travel trailer. I don't have a bed liner cause that's what the bed of my truck is for, to haul stuff, if the paint gets scratched up then it looks used. When I get through with my truck there won't be enough left for anybody to want it for anything but parts.

In back of the truck
place it in/on the bed of the truck
I need to fill the box with a load of dirt/gravel
Oh, my trunks full right now
It's a bed to lay in or on, a box to fill, and a trunk of a car to someone who's hinting to mooch my truck!
Prime example, a guy with a new truck that wants to borrow mine to haul a power rake and core areator because he doesn't want to scratch the bed of his truck. Yet he licensed it as a truck ( In Missouri you can license it as a car as well, but why)

I call it a box... unless it has a flatbed, in which case I call it a "flatbed". My F250 has a box with a drop in liner, which I don't really care for, but it came with it, so it stays. My F150 has no liner, which is fine, too. In the future I'm thinking of taking the liner out of the F250, putting it in the F150, and finding a flatbed to swap out for the box on the F250.
