I finally bought the narrower rubber locally, easy to find up to 4' wide but not 5' wide. I glued the seam, not ideal but acceptable to me. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | Eric, What year? From 47-55, the rear floor cover in GM Suburbans was glued-on linoleum. Panel trucks did not come with a GM floor mat/cover. The floor is 54 inches wide - brown linoleum (as used from 47-53; black in 54/55) is available in the correct thickness. It has to be cut-to-fit and grooved, if you are interested in original appearance. http://www.battleshiplinoleum.com/ | | | | | Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,780 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,780 | Panel trucks did not come with a GM floor mat/cover. That's odd my, '48 1 ton Panel/Bus had the brown linoleum glued to the floor when I got it & had the holes through floor & you could see the indentations on the floor where the bus seats sat on both sides went.....joe I agree with Tim, the panels did not come stock from the factory with matting or linoleum on the rear floor, suburbans came with linoleum. Joe, your panel is a conversion and was used for hauling kids, I would bet that having linoleum was a requirement from the school contract. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 |
Joe,
I agree with George. The non-GM aftermarket conversion of a panel truck into an ambulance, or into a crew truck, etc, most likely had a different floor cover.
