Bed Mats for Long beds

Anyone know who sells pre-made bed mats for long bed 67-72? Some I've seen are mostly cut to fit.

Guess no one is using one. Maybe due to the moisture they retain on the underside that end up causing places to start rusting.

I bought one at Tractor Supply, but it had to be trimmed to fit.

another option is DIY spray bedliner , I just did my wifes El camino project with Raptor by U-pol . great stuff and only $150.oo for the kit .
It's a 2 part urethane so it's like rock after curing .

One thing many people forget or just don't think about doing is putting in a few water drain holes in the bed corners.

I first drilled 1/4" drain holes then came out an checked to see if the hole were doing the job after a night of rain. Nope to small so went to 1/2" holes that was just about right.

Even put in a few holes in the bed of my 70 el~camino

late model Elco have a storage space under the front of the bed that you access from behind the seat . A drain hole would drain into the Interior .

Looks like a good job with the bed coating there MIKE68. Flatheadjohn, most stay away from keeping mats in the bed long term, because of the rust it helps promote.

"Pre-made" will be difficult to come by IMO given these rigs are 40+ years old.

Trim-to-fit mats are available from your local RV/accessory outlet.. the same ones who sell canopies/shell/toppers, lumber racks, tool boxes, hitches, etc. In my area, it's "Campway": https://www.campway.com/

Good point and I never thought about it. I recently put POR-15 on the bed floor so maybe it won't be an issue. Thanks for your input.

They don't make one to fit my Ranchero either and I was dubious about cutting on a $100 bed mat, so I bought 1/4" thick horse stall matting by the foot from Tractor Supply. It doesn't go around the fenders but it only cost about $40.
