Bed-liner Question
Update -
I applied two coats of Herculiner - great stuff! Looked so good I almost stopped there. But I threw in a drop-in too. Now I have no worries about my truck bed.
BTW, it seems that all of the drop-in liners I could find (Dura-, Penda-, Colonel/Rugged-) all "scuff" the liner so it isn't as slippery in an attempt to "prevent load shift". Thanks, but THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I DID NOT WANT!!! Of course, it doesn't do much at all to prevent load shift, just makes it seem aged - like buying pre-washed jeans.
Thanks again to everyone.

Bed-liner Question
Spend the money and get a spray in liner. I got a LINE-X a few weeks back and wish I would have done it years ago. I have hauled over 3 cords of wood in it so far and it is definitly abraision resistant. I love mine.

I did the inside of the cab with Herculiner and some dripped thru a hole. I was sandblasting the underside and tried to sandblast off some of the herculiner. it was VERY VERY tough. it hung on great.

58Model,
I do not doubt that the Herculiner would hold up well, but I would dread the application. Clean, sand, clean, de-grease, coat 1, coat 2. The same thought occurred to me too, but I quickly dismissed it.
78f250,
I did not do this to be cheap. Reading this entire thread would make that clear to you. I now have the bed surface I want without promoting damage to the metal. Those spray-in liners are too spongy for me - I WANT my load to shift.
Karljay,
yeah, this stuff is scary-strong.
