Charles,
I have only a single experience with a replacement bed for my '37 Chevy 1/2 ton and that is with Mar-K. My original bed was pretty beat up so I ordered the bed and bed wood. The bed was very well done, down to the location of spot welds. Much later I discovered that it doesn't have bases for the bedside pockets like later beds. I don't know if the original had them or not since I don't have it anymore. I went with pine wood since I was painting it black like the original truck had. The wood was gorgeous with no knots or flaws at all and it almost seemed a shame to cover it up but cover I did. Everything went together real well including the mounting bolts through the truck frame. I highly recommend them. Also, made in America.
