I wouldn't. That stuff isn't very rugged and I know it peels pretty easy.

I used Durabak on my Crew Cab.  I know of several Jeepers that used it also.

I recommend plasticote bedliner over the duplicolor..its usually about $40 a gallon, and a LOT more durable. Herculiner would be better for use in the bed, but the cab floor wont see the kind of abuse the bed floor usually will. My plasticote bedliner wasn't on thick enough, but it held up to most of what I've thrown at it EXCEPT chainsaw teeth on our Stihl 660 w/ a 5 ft bar, and it didn't hold up to the engine that fell over and gouged a small chunk out where it dented the bed floor a little.

How did it hold up?

Them SEM brand spray on is the closest you will get to the commercial stuff like Rhino or Line Ex.
Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs
