Bed Mat:

I finally found a rubber bed mat for my 1952 F-1 that I am well pleased with.It fit the bed like a glove and has a vintage style look to it.Very heavy duty and well made.Came from Midwest Aftermarket if anyone interested.

Someone posted some years ago about finding a heavy duty mat at TSC that was sold for use in horse stalls and trailers...they said it made a great bed mat for our trucks AND it was cheap. I like that one since it has that same design as a wood plank bed floor.

I bought a rubber mat at Tractor Supply. But it was so heavy I didn't use it. Just last week I gave it to my son to use as a mat for his free weights.

I too like the one you have with the stimulated bed strips and wood grained boards.

The mat is 4'WX6.5L.I figure it will fit all 1948-1952 F-1's.I don't know what size the bed is on 1953-1956.For $125 with free shipping ain't bad!

The only problem with rubber bed mats is that they trap water. Now Ross in Albuquerque probably doesn't worry about this but those of us in Michigan, Maine, Pennsylvania, etc. it presents a problem if our truck is a driver. Nice looking mat though Russ. If your bed is well protected against corrosion it should work nicely. But I looked on their website https://midwestaftermarket.com/pages/ford and I don't see anything listed for our trucks. Did you get a part number?

My box floor is made of Trex and I have been using polished aluminum diamond plate over that. Very durable and non-slip but if left in direct sunlight in the summer you could easily fry eggs on it. This rubber mat might be a better solution although in the sun it probably gets hot too.

Pete,here is all the info on the mat I have.It is a TrailFx 1065V vintage series bed mat 4' x 6.5'.If you will talk to Scott at Midwest Aftermarket he will help you.The way mat is designed on bottom side I would think there would be no water issues.As you can see from photo my bed has metal diamond plate in it.I never was much into the wood thing if truck is used and gets rained on they never hold up,just my thoughts.Only dislike I have about mat is I wish they would have left the I guess the two handle holes out of it.
