I have looked high and low and have never found any pre-made rubber floor mats for our trucks. I finally bought some heavy duty rubber and made my own. You can see it in the pictures of my truck on my web site. I think it looks pretty good. As far as insulation, most everyone I know has used the foil insulation with the bubbles between the foil layers on each side. It's light weight, easy to cut to fit and seems to work pretty well. I have it all down my firewall (inside) and under the floor mat.

The rubber that you used, what was it originally used for? Where did you get it and about how much did it cost? Thanks!

I buy it locally at an upholstery place. They carry several types of rubber matting for floor mats, trunk mats and running boards. I think it's about $10.00 a foot.

It was about 4'x8', big enough to make a full mat for my Apache and a 4x4 mat for our front door. It was $15. I had to scrub it, and it's not super pretty, but I plan on having dirty feet a lot when I get in my truck anyway. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,953 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,953 | I am using black ribbed rubber that I bought at an industrial supply company. I would prefer to have the ribs running fore and aft but its not wide enough. Although having the ribs run sideways it makes it easier to whisk clean. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | just as more info I bought a rubber mat that has the "measles" look and used the "jute" original type backing. Since the 37 is basically flat it worked pretty good. What ever you use take your time to cut and fit and you'll have a nice job.
"back then" I think I got it from American Classic..or Jcarter. | | |
