bedliners for 73-87 swb discontinued?

[Factory Guy]

Not to start a war with anybody about bed liners...

Here is my 2 cents worth. If you want to try and protect the bed from denting the hard plastic ones will give you the best protection. Will they protect it from everything? In a word no.

If you want rust to form under the bed-liner get a hard plastic one as the bed liner will MOVE and chaff the paint causing the paint to wear off and a slight amount of moisture from condensation will cause it to rust. More cases of rust then not.

Spray in if prepped properly should not grow rust underneath.

Spray in has a tendency to fade over time.

Spray in IMO does little to protect the metal in the truck bed from damage.
