Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?

after all these years and just about to replace the floor on a 71 and I read this laughing till I cried. The shifter questions continued to be a focus to many that I completely overlooked till I read the post questioning its placement.
the idea of the demo or show truck would lead me to believe the whole truck would have been wood vs just the bed.
The shop teacher could be the builder the wood could have been paid for out of the school budget so he just saved thousands and the labor each kid had a piece that he or she was graded on so labor was free. And the shop teacher and the automotive teacher did a swap on the bondo paint for a new set of cabinets again on the tax payer nickel.
Love this wish I had it but what would I do with it?
Thanks for the Laughs
