Bed Mats, Old Question?

[Lees68GMC]

I've searched high & low for a rubber bed mat that would "Fit" my 68 GMC short bed fleetside and have only found a company that sells over-sized rectangular 3/8 thick mat you have to cut. Does anybody Know of a "Made to Fit" rubber bed mat 3/8" thick or thicker available and from where?

Thanks Lee

A "Made to Fit" rubber bed mat for this vintage is no longer made. I have searched and searched. The closest I could find is ProTecta brand part number LRV-6642D, I got from Summit Racing $70 bucks. This is a 73 up, and only available in the long bed version, cut to fit for a short bed. The one issue with this mat is the wheel houses of 73 up are about 4 inches longer than the 67-72 so there will be a gap. When cutting to fit I split the difference so there was only a two inch gap fore and aft of the wheel houses. It fits nicely between the bed sides and between the wheel houses. Not a custom fit but better than no mat, at least for me.

I bought the Protecta 6721D.

It's an un-cut rectangle. I found it easy to cut with a little soap/water and a sharp box cutter.

It's thick and heavy weight. Very satisfied.

So Big dav you had to cut everything out including the wheel housings with this one? It's cheaper by the way ($109.00 + ship) than other 3/8 thick rectangular Cut to Fit mats I found.

Thanks Guys

there is another problem about putting any bed mat in Mold if water gets under it the wood will start to mold and get weak
