Re: Anybody else have the Bed Carpet Kit?

I believe I also got a tonneau cover from him but it has been a while so I may have forgotten.

Re: Anybody else have the Bed Carpet Kit?

Wouldn't carpet in the bed retain water? I would think that would be a less than optimal item to have.

I would think a tonneau would be better.

I have both

Since it doesn’t retain water like rubber (it would dry out) it isn’t an issue but - my truck hasn't been in rain since she was restored.

I get plenty of compliments on the bed carpet. But a wood bed is cooler.
