Did any of you see this pickup on the U.S. eBay?

Looked correct except for the modified bed, but not familiar with how the pickups fared later.
Price was quite good, I'd say.

The bed is quite a common conversion in NZ, where this came from originally. It may have been a wellside that suffered from a rotten back end or could have been a van converted.
In NZ there was also a dealer option for a "Wilco" deck as seen in this

Not too sure about the price.
I thought it was a mobile sieve until I saw how big some of the holes were.

LOL. The pickups are rarer than hen's teeth over here. Would not having an authentic bed really downgrade the value.

Actually, given the rain the UK gets, these "aerated" beds are probably a great idea
