The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Interiors 47 3600 floor pattern/template

So I just spent several hours cutting out a cardboard template of the bare floor of my cab. I used it to make a really nice thick floormat from a rubber truck bedliner. The result makes me pretty happy and looks appropriate for the trucks original appearance. I've always thought the repop mats looked too thin even though they probably were from the factory. Would it be of any help to fellow bolters? Marketable maybe? I could post a few pics if enough of you are interested. Just think'n out loud.

Hi Marko, I posted a request for a pattern for my 53 half ton but did not get any results. I want to make a 1/4" mat used for horse stalls sold at feed stores. I think it would be better than the repops and kinda old school way of doing things. You can send me a PM. Do you have pics? Steve

Marko,

I need a floor mat too. Please post some pictures, thanks!

I am also looking for orig. floor mat options, I have a 47 1 ton with floor shift and hand operated hand brake next to gear shift.

Thanks for the responses guys. So my truck is a late 47' AD 3/4 ton truck with the 4 speed on the floor and a hand brake to the right of the shifter. I removed all the pedals and got a new firewall pad to aid in sizing my new mat. I slowly cut and trimmed the cardboard till I was happy and then laid it onto a 1/4 thick rubber bedliner and cut and trimmed it with a quality pair of poultry shears. I tried tin snips, razor knives and anything else I could find around the house that cut. These shears were slow but clean cutting and left a nice straight edge. I just picked up a case (6) of 7272830 Rust-Oleum Metallic dark bronze that I ordered online from Home despot. It was $34.56 shipped to my local store. I'll post some pics asap after I spray some of the interior and lay the mat back down. If any of you bolters hav'nt seen the posts of "Huck" here on stovebolt, his AD truck interiors are beautiful, and I hope mine turns out half as well. Stay tuned for pics of Photobucket.
