bed liner..... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ellisjay2 · 09-12-2014, 05:44 PM

I was told a bedliner from a newer model truck wont fit my long bed due to the narrowness of 90's and newer style truck beds. Is that true??? I don't want to get it sprayed which I know is the best option, just want to drop a liner in and tool box for utility, and cargo purposes. I figured any liner from gm truck same length would work........

the bed heights are different also dimensions of the inner fenders of the bed are different

Honestly the plastic drop in liners are worse then not running one.They hold water and rub on the paint.See if you can find a rubber bed matt and clean under it every so often.

I have a long bed '85 that I want to get rid of my plastic liner.... it's not in perfect shape, but it's yours if you want it. I was getting ready to chop it up with a sawzall.

Yeah man sure if your getting ready to scrap it, I didn't know you were in the same area....I just wanted to throw one in for certain material and debris hauling. I live right by cobb general (wellstar Hospital) what area are you in, if you want to meet or I can come to you....

I am going to use one of these paint saver pads when I install the drop in liner I got for my old 83. I have read that they work.

We can meet up somewhere, I'm over in the Burnt Hickory/Dallas Highway area. It's still in the truck so we can just unscrew the fasteners and throw it in yours.

I'll PM you my contact info.
