Go to a truck supply(Accessory) store.

Or go out to some junkyards,I know alot of times there are piles of bedliners that you could probably get for a quick 50 bucks or so.

I think you could get more money for the bed and front clip than $300...as for the bed liner, do you have a Tractor Supply Store? They usually stock them.

Or CAL ranch store.

ya we got a tsc....id prefer one new or really close to it... im sure any longbed from a 80-96 would fit tho right?.....and this dude has helped me many times in the past and bailed me out countless more i think 300 would be fine with me after all this guy completely built me a 390 in the 76 f150 i usta hav fr free

Yea,bedliners will fit 80-96.73-79 will also fit,but if you get a bedliner that covers the top of your bedsides,it won't fit since 80-96 Bedsides are a bit wider.I've got a 79 bedliner in my truck that covers the top of the bedsides,and it almost covers the bedsides,but not quite.

Your welcome man,i'm thinkin bout doin that with mine in the near future.lol.If you look at this pic,you can see what I mean about the top rails not quite fitting...

I actually got that bedliner for free from a buddy.It's an original Ford bedliner from 79,and it came factory in his 79 F150.He didn't want it anymore,and it was takin up space,so he asked if I could take it off his hands since I was the only one he knew who had a truck it would fit.I didn't hesitate.lol.

oh ya...see if u took a hand held propane torch...you could flatten that little lip out by warmin it up just a little to make it plyable and using a couple pieces of flat stee to flatten it...i wouldnt heat the steel to do it..it may melt to them....if you do it just be careful not to melt it

I would,but the top rails are already really thin,so It wouldn't really do much.

fordman76367 · Sep 18, 2009

see i didnt kno how thin they were...o well it was a good thought.....id do spray in but that stuff is really expensive

Yea,i'm just gonna cut the tops off so that the bed liner lays under the bedrails.

And yea,that stuff is expensive.
