I just bought a 97 Ram 1500 at an auction in Denver. Apparently it is a "rust free" truck. Living in Kansas City, I know that it will only be a matter of time until that status changes. I plan on getting the bed lined with a spray in bedliner, and am also planning on doing the bottom 8" of the body and the fender lips. Has anyone else done this? How much did it cost and how long did it take them to do it for you? How has it held up?

 

Line-x is better, but it's also more expensive.

I'd say to get your bed sprayed will be about 500, if you get the rocker pannels done too probably $800 total.

 

You can buy the stuff to do it yourself for much cheaper.

 

REALLY??? Please point me in the direction.

 

one of my buddies did that on his 99 dodge 1500 quad cab 4x4. it looks pretty sweet. his truck is yellow so that black liner on the bottom looks pretty sweet. he did the front bumber too. his is a sport tho. he got his liner for free from a friend tho so i couldnt help u out on the prices

 

You can, but, It will not last as long as a Line-X liner.

I got a quote from a Line-X dealer, Color matched bed and rockers for $1100.

 

my buddies dad did it to his ram, it was an 03 though. got the bottom eight inches all the way down both sides, rockers, and also got the inside of the door lined, and it cost him 250 by doing it himself, and it looks great

 

 

Big.red.ram.......I like your set up. How do you like that black nerf bar? What brand is it, and how much did it run you? Would it hold my 300# getting in and out?

I will really need it for the kids to climb up and in on the pass side.

 

A Line-X guy just quoted $479 for the bed up over the rails. And quoted an additional $1200 to do the bottom 8" of the rockers, and up around the fenders. $900 if I don't do the fenders.

They said there is a lot more prep work involved in the rockers. So you pay for the prep work.
