A bed like what is shown in that picture is a pretty fancy bed (but nice!) for what goes back on these old trucks.
If you are planning a complete stock restoration, well that might fit your budget, but most of us can't get our truck to go around that corner.
Now, if you have the shop and expertise to draw plans, bend sheet metal, do the framing, complete the woodwork and paint it all up pretty, and do all the work yourself, well, maybe you can get a number of the 'Bolters here to pony up for a bed and start yerself a business. Just don't go advertisin' around here!
If TSP were to incubate a Big Bolt Bed Company, well, now that would be a nice feather in the cap of the Old Man who runs this place.
