Plus - the timing doesn't work. We have driving, representative prototypes three and four years ahead of production, well before we would be sending properties to a trade show.
It's way easier to make a metal bed than it is the complexities of a pickup cab. It would be relatively easy, inexpensive, and short lead time to create soft tools (kirksite dies) and bang out ten or twenty bed side panels for prototype and show usages.

Well. Keith, that knocks my Trade Show Demo theory into a cocked hat.
So now we're back to the combo high school Wood shop/Auto shop theory...
And the mystery continues.
I wonder if the Marfak guys include termite control?
