It really is. The only beds like that I've seen are on vans that look a lot like this.

Centurion experiment?

I grew up not far from there. No way this was ever driven in the winter - vehicles couldn't last more than a decade in those days with all the salt! Very impressive.

Amen, brothers!  The added-on cap seems bizarre.  Do you really need the extra head room?  Do you need to see out standing up?  And that moves the rear window up so high that you probably can't see what you are backing into.
