Old Bedliners

Nice color truck!
Lol have you peeked under it? Truck like that I’m sure it’s mint.
They help more than they hurt generally unless seriously neglected. doubtful it’s rusted underneath. A truck that clean anyway.
Why don’t you look at it? Not near you?

Thanks! That's the color it was when granddad drove it off the lot in 1980... I was with him! I have looked under the truck and there's only some surface rust from sitting - but it was in the garage all the time.

Why haven't I looked already - Great Question! I travel a lot for work and I'm only home about once a month. I snapped these photos and got curious on my way out of town the other day....

Include some photos when you pull it out. Curious to see how it looks?

Will do!

At the risk of hijacking this post...I've been trying to locate a vendor for that style bedliner, but haven't had any luck. Any suggestions?

No worries. I do like this bedliner when working. I feel as if I an toss anything in there without worry about damaging the truck!

I tried very hard to find a bed liner for mine and had no luck at all. I end up hand scraping the old spray bed liner off the bed and tail gate, sanding, priming and re-coating with roll on bed liner. It was a super hard job and took a lot of time but came out pretty good. No holes or rot in the bed but the bed floor had waviness in it and a few dings. I put in a 3/8" thick bed liner mat over it and it looks real good. I still would probably ideally prefer a bed liner to hide the waviness but the roll on liner came out so good I am going to leave it.
