Drop in bed liners?

I am looking for a drop in bed liner for my 73. Is there a company out there that make them for our trucks? I see them for the newer 8 foot beds, but not in the older f100s. I know people hate these because of the rust issues, but mine is pretty shot. Best solution to create a sold floor till I can find a bed around here.

80-96 works, I had one starting in 1993.

x2 on that... 80-96 as well as 97/98 F250's.

You can still buy them new for around $100-$150.

I know bedrugoutlet.com does really good custom fitting for all different types of liners. My F-350 has the BedRug, so I haul my construction equipment one day and my ex-wife's furniture the next without having to hear any gripes about its condition. It's tough but still cushioned. My buddy has the BedMat in his Chevy and said it's been great for his landscaping business, too.

I looked pretty hard for a drop in liner for my 1973 Camper Special, with no luck! The wheel wells inside the bed are just a bit different and so stock do not fit. Anyone have a suggestion for my situation? Thanks

I have one and it fits perfect in my long box! I HATE the damn thing though, because all the rain water collects in it underneath the toolbox!

I hated mine when at highway speed the floor section would rise and kind of "float" in the air, like hovering.

Or it would bang around on rough roads.

But it was invaluable for actually hauling stuff, just throw it in there and go, bicycles, mulch, furniture and rock.

Now with a bare bed floor it's like "eh, don't think so."
