Keep searching craigslist. Took me about a year to find someone selling one that fit. Got it for $25. If you can't wait, lots of online retailers sell them new.

if you have a local junkyard near you check there most of the liners are all the same quality.you should be able to get one at a yard for next to nothing.

There are different styles, so here's a bit of advice from my experience. I have the so called GM factory bedliner, and it's the one that comes up and over the box rails, supposedly to protect the rails from damage. Despite the fact that the bedliner has been screwed down, it moves a bit, and has worn the paint off the rails. Looks terrible. Besides that, if you ever decide you want a canopy or a topper, you cannot clamp the canopy down without either removing the bedliner, or cutting holes for the clamps.

in my last truck, I had a rubber bed mat, approx one inch thick. Nice and heavy for winter weight, and did a great job of protecting the bed floor, but not so good for the side walls.

I wish I had a phone so I could go take a picture of what twenty year's of a drop in bed liner sliding back and forth inside my bed have done to it.

I have a stepside bed that is completely ruined from the inside out due to a drop in liner.

You can clamp your camper over a spray in liner, or simply don't spray it all the way up.

My liner does not slide. You guys must have had the wrong size or something. They are not supposed to slide around.
