Does anyone make a bed mat for this series?
Just bought a '68 Long bed styleside and I'd like to put a heavy bed mat in it. Anyone know if these are available for this series of truck? Thanks much.

Back when I was looking I never found any kind of bed mat, bed rail covers or anything for our trucks.

Well, I ordered a 74 mat. It is a little short, a little skinny, and needs to be trimmed at the fender wells a little bit.
I take pics this weekend, modify it, and post pics for future reference.

You can see in this shot the offending parts that needed to be cut out to make it fit:

Wallah:

So I had to cut the fenders open a little to get it to fit, and aside from that is a bit skinny and a bit short as you can see in these photos:


It is better than nothin' I reckon,

Looks good, Ive always been a fan of the mat over the old drop in bedliners. Where did you buy it from ? I don't remember seeing them when looking at different parts sites.

I got it from LMC. I had to order one for a 74, and that's why it doesn't fit perfect.
