The GMC CarbonPro carbon composite bed may be the hottest thing in the land of pickup trucks today, but it’s certainly not new to General Motors. In fact, some may remember that, just after the dawn of the 21
st century, GM introduced the Pro-Tec composite box on the Chevrolet Silverado pickups. Billed as a game-changing product that could change the way pickup trucks were built, the Pro-Tec box was a great idea, but it died just two years later.
The GM Pro-Tec box was available exclusively in a short bed length and had the benefit of being lighter, resistant to rusting and denting (from both inside and outside), and probably would be much cheaper to build in the long run. A total of $64 million were invested into the GM Fort Wayne plant in Indiana to build the Silverado 1500 with the new Pro-Tec box, which was then sold as an $850 option.
