I've seen trucks with the bed liners on up the sides and some look good and some don't. I think its the type(?) or perhaps the installer(?). I'd ask a bedliner person for some references for what your thinking about in order to make a decision you can live with.
I think "scuffing" the por15 is a good idea.

From what I hear I think, if it was me, that maybe put the bedwood in and do a good finish on it and then get one of the rubber bed mats and lay in it. That way if you want it to look good on Sunday you can pull the rubber mat out.

I haven't done a TF bed so I can't help on the drilling question.

Hope this helps lead you to the right choice for you.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
