    When you drill holes in it, it smells like fiberglass.

    The inner bed is sheet molding compound (SMC), a composite material based on chopped glass fiber and unsaturated polyester resin. It’s produced as a partially-cured sheet that manufacturers use to cut into well-defined patterns which they put in a mold and finish curing under (relatively) low pressure. It's decently strong and highly corrosion resistant.

    The outer bed panels are steel.
