    Drop in bed liner

    I also like the idea of spray. traditional plastics use to rub the paint under them, and I wonder how long a plastic one will last in an Arizona frying pan.

Molded #s that denote a part # can be used to trace what vehicles it was made for. recently: Someone here had a brown Plymouth laser seat from circa 84, and found a stock #, on a pic of the plastic... there were several #s, but some of...
