by Guest Fri Nov 12, 2010 10:01 pmI have noticed that a few vanners on the site have rubber mats in the cargo area that look like they are orginally for a truck bed. Does anyone know what make and model of truck these came out of, or of any that will fit with minor modifications. My Station Bus needs something to deaden some of the road noise, but I am not ready for a full floor yet. Thanks.

Think this stuff is 3/8" I ran into the same thing you are ,,something temporary and deaden some noise, one thing about it , ya dont need a sub-layer to help it out. used belting will have 1 good side usually and be around 1-5 $ a running foot for 3ft width that really varies. cleans up okay with some 409 and armour all. lol

I got a rubber 8' truck bed mat that was for a '66 ford truck. Our wheel wells are farther back so I had to cut a piece off to slide it back far enough, but I just placed the cut off up towards the front. Had to do some other minor trimming (it was made for a truck not a van) but nothing major.
Cutting tip: spray a little WD40 on the blade of your utility knife and it won't drag in the rubber.
