Truck bed mat

[beadblaster]

Since no one make a mat for our trucks I looked around and found that they make a horse stall mat that is 4’x6’x3/4 or 5/8 thick. I went and picked up 2 mats spent about a hour and voila a bed mat that fits perfectly. The box is exactly 6’ wide( long box) and just cutout wheel wells. Mat cost me $80.

Those things are incredibly tough (and heavy!). I have had one in my truck bed for a few years and it's virtually like new. Didn't get two and line the entire bed floor, just one between the fenderwells and touching the front of the bed.

Got a picture of how it turned out? Thanks

That looks great! What did you use to cut them?

[beadblaster]

I used a rechargeable circular saw for straight cuts and a large box cutter for the corners. The mat actually cuts pretty easy with the box cutter.

The trick is to lube the box cutter with soap

Good to know, thanks for both replies.

If you have a steel bed you'll want to avoid trapping moisture between the steel floor and the rubber mat. One 1/2'' or 3/8'' hole in each corner will do the trick. If there's a wood floor underneath, you can skip it.
Would one horse mat cover the back deck of a K/5?

The bottom of the mats actually have hundreds of 1/4” dimples so air can get under. I will post a picture.

Where did you buy those at ?

[beadblaster]

I bought them at a farm store called North 40 also know as Big R. I am sure any farm,ranch supply store will have them

The local Tractor Supply has them for 39.99 I was looking at them last night. I have had a mat made from conveyor belting from a local manufacture, but it has seen it better days. I have been considering one for my step side.

That's where I got mine, Tractor Supply Co.

I have not bought one yet because it measures 5" short and I don't need a 5'7" left over piece if I buy 2.
