ProTec Bed on a Pickup?
Has anyone seen these?My friend has the only one I`ve ever seen.He bought the truck used about 4-5 years ago.Notice the tailgate letters like an Avalanche.The whole bed skin is ProTec,everything you can see.That`s not a bedliner.

Re: ProTec Bed on a Pickup?
I saw one of those on a truck i went to look at before i bought mine. Seemed really cool. It was a one year only option for the Silverados. (i'm not positve on that though) It was an expensive option that didn't go over so well.
The premise is cool but the down sides don't seem so cool. like water and other nasty things getting underneath and rotting out your bed. Atleast with a bedliner, you can take it out and hose the bed down once and a while. Last edited by fdrummer28; 03-18-2008 at 01:53 AM. |

Re: ProTec Bed on a Pickup?
I've heard of this, but never seen one (that I know of.) The entire box is fiberglass. It will never rust. Kind of like the 88-98 stepsides.
It even looks like a small corner of the lower right side of the tailgate has broken off.

Re: ProTec Bed on a Pickup?
This bed is all ProTec,not metal.Good eye on the tailgate corner.I remember noticing that when I was taking the pictures.I`d hate to see one hit in an accident.The dual wheel pickups have 1 pc. plastic bedsides,too.

Re: ProTec Bed on a Pickup?
Yeah, i stand corrected. i did some reading up on it. Deffinately seems like a cool option. Too bad in didn't go over so well.
You're right, wouldn't wanna see that in an accident, but then again, that's what insurance is for! lol |

Re: ProTec Bed on a Pickup?
I bet replacement panels aren`t available.So,a total bed replacement would be required.My friend didn`t even know what he had.I keep talking about it every time I see it.He could care less.

Re: ProTec Bed on a Pickup?
I have seen one, maybe two of these since I work at a dealer. We called them Tupperware trucks, but it was a neat idea, just not super practical on a Truck used as a truck.

Re: ProTec Bed on a Pickup?
Y'all probably won't believe this, but I SAW one of these on Friday on my trip to Winston-Salem to pick up a 68 short fleet bed!!! It was just outside of Charlotte on I-77. It was a Gray ext cab and it clearly had the fiberglass style tailgate. When I noticed that I looked at the corner of the tailgate and the Pro-Tec plate was clearly readable!!! I'm going to keep my eye out and see if I can find more of them!

Re: ProTec Bed on a Pickup?
the 88-98 stepsides box wasn't fiberglass, only the bedsides from the body line down, the rest was metal.

Re: ProTec Bed on a Pickup?
I saw one of these trucks in traffic once and I was really wondering why the tailgate looked like that. Guess I know now.

Re: ProTec Bed on a Pickup?
I saw another one... this time I had my camara... sorry the pics really suck... I was in Virginia on HWY 81.
One oddity to note... this bed was on a 03-05 style truck. (06-07 classics had the "HD style" hood and different grill, this one did not.)

Re: ProTec Bed on a Pickup?
I believe the pro-tec bed was available through the 2004 model year.
They were only available on 1500 series (1/2 ton) trucks. |
