Any good places to buy a bed mat - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Im in need of a bed mat for my '69 stepside as it has a stainless steel floor and everything slides around on it.

Any ideas on where to get one cheap? (but decent)

Thanks.

Autozone has them for $49.99. I think they are cut to fit.

I got a mat many years ago, but had to use one for 73-87 trucks. These fit OK, but have a gap by the wheel well housings and have cutouts for gas tank fillers on the bed sides. Are they now made specifically for 67-72 trucks?

Thanks guys. I went with the one from Autozone but it was made for an 8 ft fleetside so it has the wheel wells cut out. All I did was cut the part I needed out of the center. It ended up about 3/4" to 1" short in width but I can live with it.

It's a tough piece though and I'd say worth the price. Although taking a pair of scissors to a brand new $50 dollar mat was a bit eerie feeling!

I'll probably buy another when my '71 gets along further. Should drop right in that one.
