ABSTRACT:
A thermoformed thermoplastic bedliner has a ribbed bottom wall which overlies the floor of a truck cargo bed. Two side walls extend upwardly from the bottom wall. The ribs extend longitudinally along the bottom wall and terminate at a transverse flat portion. The bedliner can be modified to accommodate mounting of a fifth wheel hitch to the truck frame, either by bolting through the bedliner or by cutting away the transverse flat portion.
