If i was you i would put bed liner on the bed . So in the future you would not have to worry about it rusting.

id say use the black bed liner..gives it a new fresh look and also that stuff is as strong as a tank...saves you rust issues down the road too

spray on, color match make it look good..drop ins cant take abuse like spray ons and drop ins trap water underneath and cause rust issues down the road also remember your truck has a drop in right now and remember what the bed floor looks like?

Re: Resto---Keep bed natural or use spray-in-bed-liner?
I hear how drop ins trap water but how does it get in there? I have a drop in that locks in under the bed rails. Before I put it in I gave the inside of the box a couple of thick coats of hammerite paint. This was done around 10 years ago. Ive pulled the liner a couple of times and it looks fine under there. I like the drop ins better because I can slide stuff.
I just picked up a truck with spray in and it definatly is tuff stuff and sure has its good points. I guess it all goes to personal preference. |

Re: Resto---Keep bed natural or use spray-in-bed-liner?
if your bed is cherry leave it natural because your truck is worth more all original. if bed is not so nice or you plan on working it coat it. i,d color match the coating unless you haul greasey stuff.

Re: Resto---Keep bed natural or use spray-in-bed-liner?
i guess from what ive seen drop in vs. spray on..if you have a drop in and decide to take it out it really scars up the bed floor from sliding, rubbing, ect. the spray on its on and its there to stay, and if it ever does scrap or peel its fixed for free..just my honest opinion

Easy solition. Spray on a bedliner, and then drop in a liner. Best of both worlds.

Re: Resto---Keep bed natural or use spray-in-bed-liner?
A question that has always been in my mind about spray on bedliners on older trucks is the issue of rust. What if it rusts from the underside? Can you imagine trying to disassemble the bed or repair rust with a sprayon bedliner in it? For a new truck id definatly go spray on, but with an older truck I've alwasy wonder about that.

Re: Resto---Keep bed natural or use spray-in-bed-liner?
I will stick to the original factory colors. It is tu-tone med./light olive green. I use to hate green but in my old age it is starting to grow on me!!

Re: Resto---Keep bed natural or use spray-in-bed-liner?
I'm running rubber bed mats in mine. They don't protect the wheeltubs and sides, but none of my trucks are show trucks, and I use them. I have considered a spray in though, because they already have dents and dings in them.
