longbed bed floor replacement source

My "76 F-250 longbed floor is like swiss cheese, and I ned to replace it - the suggestion "just find a rust free one in a yard" doesn't work in the Northeast. I have seen Golden Star PB15-738 truck bed floor assembly at JEGS, bed floor assembly Part# X790-4573-8 at autometal direct, bedfloor assembly 49-9925-T from LMC. None of them are cheap, but I can't verify where they manufacture the beds.

Any opinions or experience? I've searched the threads, but don't see much on replacement other than finding a donor bed, which I don't think will work for me. Thanks

Bob

If it's not a high dollar restoration I'd just seal it up with POR 15 or something and put a Penda liner in it.

Sheet steel over it, coat it, cut drains in, & use a Pendaliner bed liner.

Yesterday I was looking for a Pendaliner for our trucks (73-79). No luck.
Are they still making them?
Anybody know the part number?

Long bed or short bed? Under lip or over rail? I bought a new one at a local truck accessory / trailer place just up the road. He called his distributor and it came in the next morning regular supply truck.

Pendaliner 83001 SRX is under the lip, what I wanted. Was in 2022. At the time, I found both styles for both length beds. Might look under Duraliner too, I think they joined. A '76 F-250 longbed would use that same number, if going under the lip. I also have a separate Rail Gurd on mine, it's like a plastic-rubber. I had it on for over 30 years, held up well, was gonna reuse it but found it still new too.

Here is a link to conversation here. Quick Question .... Drop In Bed Liner number? - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums (ford-trucks.com)

Searching by the number above, I found this place that list them, and Amazon, but looking at price, I see inflation ran amok.
Duraliner Pendaliner Under Rail Truck Bed Liner 83001SRX, Joe's Truck & Trailer (joestruck.com)

They may not make them now. Amazon shows 20 left. That number is for 8 foot, wide bed, and it fits up through '87 I think. If I needed something now, I might would address the inner bed sides and plate the floor and look at rubber bed floor covers or a brush or spray in option. "73 and a '79 have different inner bed sides in the wheel tub area, so it's maybe '75 up that is like a '79?

"Over the rail" types will eat the paint.
