Drop-in bed liner removed after 22+ years...

I am in the process of getting some paint touch-ups done to my 1999 F-150 and the painter works out of a spray-in bed liner company's building. I figured, I'm improving the look of my truck's paint, let's upgrade the bed liner too...




It was a pleasant surprise to find the actual truck bed in almost mint condition! A few scuff marks from the plastic bed liner moving around, but not a speck of rust.

I will add more pics once the spray-in liner is complete.

Shockingly clean, great news there! Which liner are you doing? I have done Herculiner before and it works fine for light to mild use.

Also jealous of your bed extender. Been looking halfassed for one to use on the Screw. Is it a factory Ford unit or aftermarket?

The bed extender is Ford, but for an 11th Gen. I had to put riv-nuts in the plastic bed liner to make it work. Now it won't work without it. It would over hang the tailgate.

I will likely sell the liner and extender together.

Shop. I did the math and it made no sense for me to do it. Plus, they did an awesome job!

That works.

Yes, looks sharp. It is amazing what a bed liner does to clean up a well used bed.

Wow that looks amazing. I guess I know the first thing I'm doing when I find a new bed for mine.
