bump side bed liner ??????????????????????

Post by jdf »

is they a bed liner made to fit a bump side truck out there any where i am wanting a drop in liner for my 1968 ford 8 foot bed . do not want to spray a liner in because you still see the little dents in the fender wells . i like the looks of the drop in liners a lot better anyway and i want to use my truck to haul stuff in as well as looking nice . havent had any luck trying to find a new one i know that someone makes them somewhere .any info would be appreciated thanks :fr:

My personal opinion is that the plastic liners are not great. The water and junk build up under the liner and cause more rust issues. The liners that go all the way to the top and over the sides vibrate and rub until the paint rubs off. I dont think I have ever seen one made for a bump either. If your worried about the dents and small places in the bed I would do a little small work on these areas before having it sprayed. There are many kinds of spray ins also. I have seen them with soft pliable feel and hard as a rock. The spray in liners that are a little softer also grip well and wont have all your stuff sliding in the back of the truck like the slip in liners.

The under rail liner in my '70 said '73-87 Chevy on it and it fit well. Although as said above, the floor was rusted out once I pulled it up.

25 years ago I bought a brand new on at Tractor Supply. I took my liner out several times and never had rust issues. Have used plastic bed liners in 2 more Ford trucks with no rust issues.
