Do these exist for longhorns (pic)? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I once saw a kit for a modern truck that included the sides and front too, which would be handy, but wondering if anyone makes these bed mats but for a longhorn.

Still wouldn't haul gravel in mine, but I could haul tires and bags of stuff.

I had one years ago for my 71 long bed. I haven't seen those available for our trucks for quite awhile. Source?

This was just a pic of a truck for sale on Craigslist, but I liked the mat. I've got a lot of time and materials into my bed wood and need to protect it, but didn't want to build a 2-seat sports truck either. Thought it might make for a compromise.

Drool. That's nice. Glad this isn't a "should I put a spray-in bed liner in it? threads.

I can't find one for a regular long bed either. I've tried several searches.

X a gazillion, nothing worse than a spray-in bed liner.

Lmac · 12-24-2015, 10:02 PM

No spray in for me but the bed floor is way worse than the rest of the truck and I think the contrast of a mat would be nice.

I have a bedmat designed for a 73-87 in my 69. It fits pretty well, but has a notch on both front sides for the saddle tanks that the newer trucks take. I'll try to get a picture sometime.

I would like to find one of those for my 68 shortbed--that and a simple tonneau cover.

Thanks for the pic of the Bed Mat. Those are nice but I really want a Bed Rug. Unfortunately they Don't/won't make one for our truck. I had one in the past on an F-150 and absolutely loved it. Maybe if we all harass them, they will make them...

Make sure every time the bed gets wet you remove the mat and allow both to dry completely before putting back in. They are a great way to rot a bed floor at an accelerated rate. I've never seen these made for prior to '73 (which work), so none ever made for Longhorns

I know that a lot of people look down their nose at JC Whitney but you might try their catalog my last catalog listed both a bet mat and trim to fit bed liner material.

I have the mat and tailgate mat. I bought years ago. Didn't get the front mat though for some reason.
Just a quick google.

I bought a rubber mat from Tractor Supply a couple years ago for my 86. it layer down good in my 72 also. The only difference is a couple cutouts in the front of the bed.Other than the cut outs it fit fine
