All in favor, say I.

The big plus is Mar-K's tech and service and also it's excellent free shipping deals on occasion. Mar-K is always responsive to questions posed on this site even when the question is about some other sellers product. I think they are well respected here.

I started my bodywork on the bed thinking the straight sections would be the easiest to deal with. In my experience they were the hardest. It was pretty easy to get my bedsides into acceptable shape for a restored work truck but I wanted a higher level of finish than that. The link should show a few pictures that demonstrate the process I went thru before deciding on a Mar K bed and the results I got with their products. http://s99.photobucket.com/albums/l286/Hookalatch/Bed%20pictures/?start=allChuck | | | | | Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 17 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 17 | My dad doesn't want to replace the bed, but if we do, ill definitely consider Mar-K.

I live in an area where there are (were) steel mills. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 117 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 117 | the steel come from china or japan, ! really they is nothing here in the U.S. anymore , and any lazer guy can and will make you bed sides n panel
