Drop-in bed liner for 69 long bed

[father's Ford]

Is there a bed liner that will fit a 69 F-250 long bed? If so, who makes it or where can I get one?

Mine has one in that fits really well that's labelled '78-'87 Chevy full size. Go figure.

BTW, welcome to the site and go check in at the welcome forum

fyi: avoid drop ins! i asked about them also a while ago and was told that they move around a little bit resulting in stratching the paint to metal, and then they trap in water and rust the bed out. witch makes lots of since if you think about it.

Just my 2 cents the best liner in a spray in liner and its worth the few dollars to have rinoliner do it if you have one in your area.

DO NOT USE A DROP IN BED LINER!!!

Drop in bed liners are a terrible idea. I speak from experience on this one. My '83 came with a drop-in plastic bed liner from the Previous Owner. What happens is that the liner traps water between itself and the sheet metal of the bed. As the truck drives, the liner vibrates and wears the paint and surface rust off. The trapped water causes the metal to rust, which is then rubbed off by the liner. My bed [on the '83] had only about 10% of the floor left when I got it, and the liner had only been there a few years.

This is the fastest way to destroy a bed! You'd be better off just painting it. Best option would be a spray-in liner. Just my . Good luck.

I like drop-ins better. We have had them in all of our trucks and have never had a rust problem I have one in my 69. I put it in and put some stainless steel screws in it.

yep....You can spend a couple hundred bucks, get some Gator Guard and get excellant results. Seen too many trucks that the bedliner ended up destroying the floor of the bed

Not to mention that every thing you put in the bed slides like its on ice.
