Parking a truck

[hsinking1932]

All joking aside we used to use pond liners to waterproof our truck beds and make “Jacuzzi’s”.

the fact that we survived the 80’s astounds many today

I guess pickup beds in the 80's didn't have a lot of power outlets

Mine was steel, chrome and ash. (Step side with wood bed [ash], and chromed steel strips)

Now I feel my sprayin bed is boring. Why there isn't a teak deck option

That's great. Now I just gotta make sure they don't spray over it.

I ordered the Ford spray in liner for my Ranger. The drain holes are still there, so hopefully the Maverick is the same.

Your missing the obvious. It's a natural swimming pool.....

Tray maybe you could just drill holes in your bed ?

I know it wouldn't ruin things, but if I park downhill, would I end up with 2 feet of water in the bed?

I will get a tonneau, eventually.

Maybe if you had a drop-in bed liner, which both cover the drain holes in the bed and do not have drain holes themselves.

Keep in mind the bed itself is not water- or air-tight, so it is possible to get dust or water in the bed, even with a tonneau or topper. Both my F-150s with over-the-rail fiberglass tonneaus didn't leak a drop, but my F-250 and my Frontier with on-the-rail toppers leak a trivial amount in car washes or heavy rainstorms.

Maybe if you get really wet and heavy snow, and even that's a stretch. I wouldn't be concerned about it.

I worked on and drove a Minneapolis-Moline Five Star recently. I'm surprised there weren't more industrial accidents in the 60s. Or maybe there were and they didn't live to tell the tale.
