Darn california laws... Where can I buy bed liner now?

[gnstalodz]

So the bed liners at kragens are pulled b/c of a new law passed. It wasn't good for the Ozone I hear?

Problem is I just got the wood for my 72 step side stained and finished. The bed sides and original metal strips are all beaten up.

What's another good/cheap method? I have a kid on the way and need to fix this truck up to sell it.

ps. dont worry. I'll be buying a 63 later

Buy it online and have it shipped to your home?

My strips were rusted all up and all my bed wood was shot. I pound out my strips painted them with rustolum hammerd black, got a nice piece of hardwood plywood that I cut to the right widths using specs I got on line. Stained it will some stain my dad used to paint his garage with and bolted it all back in using gavinized hardware from Lowels. Cost about $100 looks great. I sealed it up using Lindseed oil. For the price it can't be beat.

I am sure a lot people will say that plywood will rot out in no time, but I drove the truck around for almost 15 years with a unfinished sheet of plywood for the bed floor before I got around to doing what just layed out for you.

Nothing wrong with plywood most of it is made out of hard wood and with linseed on it will last longer than say pine will. Oak & maple maybe not. If your not building a show truck and it's a DD it doesn't matter if some look down there noses at it. It saved you money and that's a plus in this"O"conemy...Vernski

x3... I used pressure treated 3/4" plywood, then threw a heavy rubber bed mat over it. Makes all the sense in the world for a DD.

Another case of form following function.

I'm in the process of putting a TBI engine in my 66. What pump are you using and the shift point on the transmission. I have the same linkage, did you shorten it? Sorry for taking this thread another way. I went yesterday as a matter of fact to get the liner kit but was told it was gone.
