I want a bed liner

Somebody here has to know where I can get a bed liner that doesn't cost and arm and a leg.  I called Chevy and my cost is $250.  I just don't want to spend that much.  So help me out guys.

check local places.  A local parts place by me always has em on sale for like $149.99

Ryan is right.  A drop in plastic liner shouldn't cost more than $100-$150 dollars.

 

Personally I would get an "under-the-rail" liner, but that is just my opinion.

If I didn't have a step side I would get this one.  But my truck is black so it shouldn't look to bad.  Besides, anything would look better than 13 years on carrying things in the bed.

I know you don't want to spend the $$$, but I bet for your truck you could get a "spray-in" for about $300.  I think they are the way to go (Unless you get a bedrug like mine).  I know Arma Coatings runs specials here for $350 for a fleetside shortbed.  I'm just guessing you could talk them down on a Stepside...

Go "Herculiner"!

See my post in "Product Reviews" forum.

Get anything BUT a dropin bedliner.  Those things are just way to slick and send things in the bed shooting around like they came out of a gun.  I don't want to have to tie down everything I put in the bed.

i second Friz herculiner is the way to go, $100 just a spary in liner you do yourself. can get it at most auto stores

I'll add to the madness, get a spray in, or spend a day and do it yourself.  You won't regret it.

 

Over the rail drop in's tend to warp under the heat of sun.  I should know, looking at our old work trucks (long bed chevy trucks) even w/ 3 of those stake pocket tie downs holding them in they still warped in between them after a few years.  And this is WI where the sun doesn't shine for about 8 months.

Drop in's are a PIA.  I use the tie down loops often and the liner partially covers them. I hear that filling fuel tanks in a sprayed bed is not a danger as in a drop in but I don't know if this is a trueism. My next one will definitely be a spray on or a DIY brush on.

I had my local Line-X dealer do my son's S-10 and it looks great.  They cover the top of the tailgate and can do over the rail.  The only complaint about the Line-X after a couple of months is that I was hoping for a bit more friction to keep loads from shifting.  I think there are other spray in liners that are rougher.  If I had an '89, a low budget, time, and full mobility, I'd probably go with Herculiner.

Ok, I will go with the spray in type.  I called the local parts store and they have a kind that I roll on for 50 bucks.  I know I need to do something. All the scratches are driving me crazy.

    • Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver. 
    • Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....  
    • 4 low is really nice on steep boat ramps. 
    • Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.  
    • Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
