Does anyone manufacture a drop in bedliner for a '78 toyota longbed? I just purchased the truck and would like to install one. I am not impressed with spray in/roll on bedliners and would rather not go that route.

I don't know of any. Just curiosity-what don't you like about the spray-in liners? I have owned drop-in, roll-on and spray-in and find a good quality spray-in (professionally done) beats the others hands down for my uses.

I think the spray ins protect from scratches, nicks, rust and look better. I know the drop ins protect better from extra heavy impacts. Like throwing in a load of wet wood, quickly while it is raining, or throwing a cylinder head in, or some bricks or cynder blocks, stuff the concentrates a large amount of force quickly into one small area. I happen to be in a rush all the time and find myself throwing things in the bed that I should probably lay.
