Default Bed Liner

Does anyone know of a source for a drop in bed liner? I prefer a under rail style. Its a 87 truck 8ft bed. I have found part numbers for Line-A-Bed 92056. and Rugged liner DD8A86, but It seems they do not make them anymore.
I had a spray in bed liner done that really went wrong. If I cant find a drop in, I will have to try and strip this one out.
Thanks for your help.

It's been my experience that finding a NEW bedliner for an old truck is next to near impossible. They just don't make them. Your best bet is craigslist or a junk yard.

Thanks for your reply, I am about 45min, southwest of DC. I have been watching craigslist for awhile. So far, I found one in Harrisonburg VA., about 2.5 hrs away, and one close to Pittsburg PA., about 4hrs away. But both are the over the rail style. Ironically, I can find them new on ebay, etc. for the 6.5 ft beds, but not the long bed.

Definitely look around local junkyards. You'd be amazed at what you can find if you're lucky

Personally, i wouldn't get a drop in bed liner for it because Dodges are rust boxes and the bed liner can trap moisture. But that's just my preference

The reason I want a drop in style is I already had one sprayed in and its peeling up and very thin. So if I go with Rhino or something like that, I am going to have to strip this one out first. And I really don't want to do that if I don't have to.
