Here is some info I found on the net about the (E37) Pro Tec Composite Pickup Box:

General Motors Corp. is discontinuing its Pro-Tec technology for the '04 model year due to weak demand. Pro-Tec bowed in 2001 as an $850 option on the Chevrolet Silverado.

Pro-Tec was 50 lbs. (23 kg) lighter than a steel bed. It didn't corrode, scratch or dent. It wasn't slippery and didn't trap water like bedliners do. But it is a technology unfamiliar to consumers, who either are happy with considerably less-expensive bedliners or who don't care about the appearance of their nicked-up steel cargo boxes.

AND:

PRO-TEC Advantages:


The PRO-TEC box gives you more payload capability because it’s nearly 50 pounds lighter than the standard Silverado box. And the concentrated load-carrying capacity of the PRO-TEC tailgate is tested to 400 lbs. over the capacity of the standard steel tailgate.


Unlike spray-on liners, where upfitters often take a grinder and grind the inside of the pickup box and tailgate to provide a gripping surface, there are no "liners" with the PRO-TEC design. The entire PRO-TEC pickup box (bed, inner panels, outer panels and rear fenders) and tailgate are constructed of durable injection-molded composite material, and are professionally mounted at the factory to meet GM quality standards. That means the entire pickup box and tailgate are rugged enough for most of your toughest jobs.


The PRO-TEC pickup box has a cleanable grain-textured surface, which helps provide skid resistance and load security with bulkhead dividers, two-tier loading, stake pockets and ten cargo tie-downs. Spray-on liners, on the other hand, offer too much skid resistance because they are often made of a non-skid, abrasive surface texture to help keep loads secure. Moving heavy equipment over the textured spray-on liner surface can be challenging. Spray-on liner surfaces are also difficult to clean.


PRO-TEC Features:


The pickup box bed, inner panels, outer panels, rear fenders and tailgate are all constructed of durable PRO-TEC composite material.

To help you store, transport and secure loads, the dependable PRO-TEC one-piece inner pickup box provides all the benefits of a steel pickup box such as bulkhead dividers, two-tier loading capability, stake pockets and ten cargo tie-downs.
The PRO-TEC pickup box features a unique, service-friendly design. In the event you have to replace any interior PRO-TEC panels, they are easy to remove and replace thanks to snap-on fasteners, adhesive and/or bolts. A well-trained technician is capable of removing or mounting a body panel in a matter of minutes. This can help reduce the time your Silverado is at your Chevy dealership or repair facility.
The protective stainless-steel tailgate top-edge helps prevent chipping when you're carrying long 2x4s or ladders.
