Not specifically but a good resource is your local camper shell dealer. Mine has'em in stock all the time. Around $100 IIRC.
I'd lay down some POR-15 or a roll-on bed liner for **extra** protection since trapped moisture will exacerbate or create rust.

Thanks. I hadn't thought about the spray-on type. I figured I would just pull the mat out whenever I washed the truck and made sure it was dry before putting mat back in but I see this probably is not the most practical with the snow season about to come to town.

I herculined my bed. Wouldnt recommend it. The texture came out very inconsistent (kept it stirred and followed directions). And it also faded to flat black after 2 weeks in the sun. If I could scrape all of it off and start over I would go with different brand like rhino liner.

I ordered one online for my truck (can't remember where) but it was the best deal I could find for a mat. Something like $68.
Then, wandered into local Tractor Supply store and found a bunch for something like $55.
I thought it had to be specific to my year and make of truck, but what I got online was a more universal fit type....so you could do just as well at a local Tractor Supply or similar place.

Get what you pay..... for a 40 or 50 dollar roll on DIY kit from walmart/parts store/tractor supply will be just that, but pay about 300+ 50 ish for top bed rail area for a "Rhino" liner and you will be good for ever.
Depends how much $ ya want to spend, rhino can sometimes tint to same color as rest of truck. I have no affiliation with rhino, I just have seen the difference.
And when the time comes, I will spend my hard earned money the (IMO) smart and right way. Check business's that change to flat beds, sometimes a bed mat can be bought for cheap.

Due, the Herculiner suppose to have a rough texture to it. It says it on the can. It's for grip. Well I got it inside my 90 Bronco. It suits me fine...
If you want smooth bed liner...don't get none...no reason to get bed liner if you don't want it to be rough...better get carpet.

i wouldnt give up my rubber mat for nothing. my neighbor does rhino liner professionally in his shop and has offered to do my truck for free were its in so good shape. he said it kills him to see me haul coal and gravel in it but after seeing him struggle to unload fines out of the bed of his truck i wont take it for free. i just roll the mat up and set it out and have them load coal or gravel in it and it unloads so easy with a shovel but it does scratch the bed up.

Rhino liner is different but still has the grip.
I find Herculiner to work better on the underside of vehicles
