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.

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.

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 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.
