[QUOTE="Nasty02Avalanche, post: 3434, member: 414"] Its Monkey see, Monkey do! oNE person does it, and it looks cool, so everyone else has to do it also. What does the bedliner do? It allows you to move cargo in and out of the bed without causing damage to the painted surface. Before bedliners, a service truck would not have any paint in the bed or would carry a piece of woolmanized plywood in the bed to protect the bed floor... A 8 foot Chevy truck bed would literally fall apart in about 10 years. The rails beneath the bed would rust away or fall apart and the wheel wells would separate and the quarter panels would rust off and the only thing that still worked was the taillights. Then someone got the bright idea to mess with the taillights - so they could have total failure all at once. Today, the tin is so thin, I have seen vehicles that have had machine parts set in the bed and the bed collapsed or were in accidents and the bed folded up like a cheap card table. Forget about putting one of those barrel cherry pickers on the bed rail, the bed will just fall right off of the truck! [/QUOTE]
