Why not just buy one sized perfectly for your bed? There are many options available. The DeeZee bed mat is popular and ~$80.

Off course you can cut it to fit. A little off both ends.

Rough Country have a seller here in Sweden with an ok price for beeing in Sweden ($158)

The Mopar one here have a price of $499 (we are taxed to death here)

Ordering from the USA is not an option with shipping costs around $3-400 and up

Thanks for the tip anyway ;)

You only have to cut the end near the cab. The wheel wells and rear are the same as a 6' bed. I have a thick Mopar bed mat and easily cut it with a box cutter.

Shoot yeah it can be cut, the one in my truck is out of my 99 long bed Super duty and has been in my last 5 trucks..
That one there is a money saver :cool:

Do you have LineX or something similar on the metal/paint surfaces?

I have a plastic bedliner that I don't like, but LineX a bed here in Sweden costs around $1.750 :Angry:

I bought a 8' bed rug and cut it for my 5'7" bed - the left over pieces fit the front and tailgate perfectly. So except for the wheel wells and sides, the rest of the bed is covered.

Make a template out of cardboard and then just trace it out with a box cutter.

And I am ******, Rough Countrys bed mat is discontinued says the Swedish vendor.

So the search continues for a bed mat that not costs a fortune here in Sweden or in shipping..
