Abstract
A liner assembly for lining the bed portion of a pickup truck, a van or the like is disclosed. The liner includes a pad portion having a series of parallel, spaced apart channels defined on its underside for mating with the series of parallel, spaced apart corrugations conventionally provided on the bed surface of the bed portion of the truck or van. The pad portion may be a single piece of a resiliently soft material such as an expanded plastic or a closed-cell polyethylene foam or may be a laminated, bi-layered pad portion comprising an upper layer of carpeting and a lower layer of resiliently soft material such as an expanded plastic or foam. The pad portion is removably fastenable to the bed surface by a plurality of selectively positionable hook and loop fastening assemblies. Preferably, the loop portion of the fastening assembly is fastenable to the bed surface, preferably by adhesion. The hook portion of the hook and loop fastening assembly is fastenable to the pad portion by a conventional fastener. The width and length of the liner assembly may be selectively adjusted by cutting along pre-defined perforations provided through the pad portion.
