Re: Bed Mat
Here us a photo of the bed mat I recently installed in my '69. I bought the mat from JC Whitney. It is nice heavy rubber, but have to cut it to fit. Not a big deal though.RangerRat wrote:Does anyone know if a rubber bed mat is available specifically for the 67-72 f100? Or if one from a newer model will fit with minor trimming?

Chris, is that one piece, or did you cut some other material to fill in front and back of the wheel buckets?

Re: Bed Mat
Chris, if you have the part number or description, please tell us. I looked online at J.C. Whitney and could not find what you have - which is a great solution.
Thanks!

Re: Bed Mat

Re: Bed Mat
I used a utility knife with fresh blades. I went through four blades to do the job.RangerRat wrote:What did you use to trim it to fit?
I laid the mat out on the concrete driveway next to the truck. I'm a little anal about getting it right so I probably spent an hour on the project. I wanted the mat symmetrical in the truck bed so I first identified a center line on the mat. I then snapped a chalk line down both edges of the mat and cut the excess. From there I used a large square and took my time cutting out for the wheel wells. We are fortunate that the wheel wells are perfectly square so getting a good fit was easier. I made all my cuts against a 4' long straight edge.
The mat is a little wider and longer than needed so it can be cut to fit perfectly. Good luck!

Re: Bed Mat
I looked around and found that a number of places sell the Westin 50-6325 that JC carries. Best price I found today with free shipping is at Jegs - $129. Thanks for the heads-up on the mat. https://www.jegs.com/i/Westin/978/50-63 ... 0UQAvD_BwE

Re: Bed Mat
JCW frequently has 15-20% off sales if you register with them. I think I was all in around $130 when I bought my mat.

Re: Bed Mat
Mr Ranger, I saw this on Craigslist.
I don't know anything about it.

Re: Bed Mat
So this bed mat that link and part# was posted for is made from two different styles of molded rubber? It looks like regular bed mat in middle part between fender wells and like a diamond plate design in front and behind the fender wells on sides ?? Thanks for any help

Re: Bed Mat
Yes. The mat is one piece but it is molded with two styles; regular in the middle and diamond plate on the sides. That is why it is so important to get the center-line of the mat identified so you are trimming from both sides evenly.michael69 wrote:So this bed mat that link and part# was posted for is made from two different styles of molded rubber?
