Bed mat

Does anyone know where I might be able to get a rubber bed mat for a '56 F-100?
I just want something to protect the wood and slides if I haul anything in the bed. Looking for something that can be rolled out then easily removed. Something similar to ones sold for newer trucks
Thanks

Some vendors offer a " cut your own" mat that you can customize. Try eBay, J.C. Whitney, or Google it. Good luck.

Check your local Tractor Supply. They sell a rubber mat that is 4'x6' for $50. It's 1/2" or 3/4" thick though...may be heavier than what you are looking for.

You could pick a plastic factory still liner up at a scrap yard cheap and cut to fit your box. Places the spray bed liner usually have a pile of them they can't get rid of. I threw mine away at the dump a few years ago because no one wanted it.

Yeah, I use the stuff from Tractor Supply. You need something pretty heavy so the wind doesn't blow it out going down the road.

They'll cut you a custom length off a roll and only charge you for what you get.

I cut an old Ford script rubber mat from an eight foot bed truck that I sold years ago and sized the mat to fit the 6 1/2' bed of my '07 F150. Similar procedure should work for one of these old trucks. Use cardboard as a template. I've seen bed mats in parts yard trucks when I go scrounging.

This is what I was thinking when I posted earlier. Cheap
