 Subject: Plastic truck bed?

Message:
Hi all,
Possibly this may be the wrong forum - apologies if so. I've just come across this:
http://www.3dmworldwide.co.uk/html/technologies/technologies.html
Can't find anywhere that stocks it - anybody know if these are available for purchase anywhere?
Thanks

CThomp - I asked the question as a shareholder in 3dm (the company that has developed the truckbed).
We are led to believe that a small amount were produced for the 04 dodge dakota but prior to ramping up production, a new mould was being made to fit the 05 model.
I'm just doing a bit of digging to see if it's available to buy in the US yet or if anybody knew when it may be available - sorry, I should have made my intentions clearer from my original message!
FYI there are numerous video clips on the 3dm website showing the truck:

Glad to have bought this to your attention - if you hear any news re the truck bed please let me know!
Regards,

Ah...I'd even be happy with a non tilting plastic bed like that just for the potential for performance and improved fuel economy. Our trucks weigh to damned much.

Ah, yes. But so much of that weight is in the front.
