Where to get a bed mat?
Came into a little money and decided to spend some of it on my truck. Specifically I hit the LMC Truck website to pick up some things I've been wanting 
Unfortunately one of the things that would've made the most difference to the truck's appearance isn't available anymore, a rubber bed and tailgate mat (Page 74 in the 73-79 catalogue). They still have the shortbed version and the expensive really thick version but not the one I wanted. Now I'm sad. The inside of my truck bed is banged to hell with occasional rust holes. I don't want a full bed liner because it wouldn't really look right so what I was going to do was coat the floor in POR 15 and put the mat over it. Anyone know where else I can get one? I'm not really interested in a "trim to fit" version because I doubt it would look as good.

I'm looking for a good mat as well; and don't want to trim to fit; especially around fender wells. I havn't looked to hard at o'Reilly's, but I saw several version on there shelf. Didn't invesigate if you had to trim etc.
I'm finishing up painting a 78 model, will spray the bed inside wall's same as outside of bed, but plan once funds come avaiable to have a spray in, bedliner; but for now, I've order a tonnea cover from Extang, and now will place a mat in the bed floor for finish touches.
So this thread really helps. I like the product mention by Berry1234, better than Summit; just becuase of the logo not being on the mat.
I plan once once able to spray, to used the tonnea and mat in my next truck (76) F100 going to convert to a 4wd model. So the cover & mat won't be a total loss and the next truck will gain so protection.

Check it out, it's on the LMC site in the 73-79 Ford catalogue, page 74.
