I like the way it looks and it seems to last good.

The running boards and bed were used hard over the past 50 years, and we intend to drive our truck, so the bed liner solution was a good choice for us. Turned out well enough that the '63 is also going to get the same treatment. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 | you got any left over,,,well, it never hurts to ask,,,,,,,,,,,,,Fred

Surface prep was the same(blasted) so I am guessing it is the sunlight. Truck lives outside. Brian | | |
