I am completing the final steps in the 3 year restoration of my 1966 Ford Style Side long bed F100 P/U. Before paint I wanted to try to find a drop in bed liner and a tonneau cover. I think I am going to go with the

• Pace Edwards JackRabbit Tonneau Cover

I'd like to find a hard shell liner to go with this cover. Otherwise, I will be forced to use a "Rhino Liner" type of product. Anybody aware of something I can use out there???

I just squirted the liner in. Sure it can't be easily removed but it protects and looks good. Just an idea.

I'm not a fan of those tonneau covers myself. They look convenient but I just don't like the look of it.

Are you planning on painting the inside of that bed, then dropping in the liner or just dropping in the liner?

In either case, those liners are tough however they will ruin the inside of that bed. It will either a) scratch the hell out of it, so don't waste your money painting the inside of the bed and/or b) get moisture trapped underneath it and, well I'm sure you can picture. You may have less trouble with this if you're covering it, but you will still have the aforementioned issue of it getting scratched up.

Personally I would consider a spray-in type of product.

 

What will you typically haul that makes you want a liner? If you are only hauling stuff every once in a while, I would paint with a good clear coat. Then put down something for added protection when you haul stuff.
