Bed Mat Search (help)

Kind of frustrating search. I looked through old posts and Summit Racing had these mats in 2017 but now I don't see them on their site. If anyone recently (and I mean within the past few months) purchased a rubber bed mat for a 67-72 fleetside SWB that fits (or if for LWB, that can be cut like the Summit product to fit a SWB), please chime in and send me a link, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Martin

I have a summit mat in my long bed. It is just down the middle, not on the sides and doesn't curve around the wheel wells.

You want one that is at least 3/8" thick for durability. Had a guy at work years ago that bought one of those cheap, thin, flimsy mats and when a 18 wheeler blew by him in the opposite direction it blew the mat clean out of his truck.

I got one from Brothers, but I have a stepside.

Go to your local feed store and pickup a horse stall mat and cut to fit. Mats are available in 5/8” or 3/4” . I ended up using them and it looks and works awesome.

X2 on the horse stall mat,very heavy duty,if you accidentally drop something in the bed of your truck,like when your buddy is helping load a engine with a tractor and decided to use the cheap bolts to hold the chain on,and guess what,Snap, engine dropped about 2 feet, thought there will be a good sized dent in the bed,pulled out the mat,and not even a mark, so I swear by these mats

Re: Bed Mat Search (help)

I've wondered about getting a rubber pad, but i have a question to those that have them. Are you not worried about water between it and either the wood or metal bed, causing rust or wood warpage? I recently purchased a '67 lwb with an excellant wood bed in it. The orig owner had put a camper shell on it and it stayed that way up until 5 years ago when the guy i bought it from took it off. I'm only the 3rd owner. I've also kicked around getting a non snap type tonneau cover of some sort. I'd like to lean towards the rubber pad though.

Thanks, Tim
