Hey Guys,

As winter is right around the corner I have moved fixing the floor board of my Ol' F250 up, the truck has about a 3 inch rust hole on the drivers floor board and a 2x3 inch hole under the seat ( thats where my pliers went......) this weekend I will be pulling the seat out of the truck, removing the vinyl floor material and patching those holes, its after the patching is done that I need some opinions, instead of putting the torn up vinyl back in the truck I am considering either using a good truck bed liner on the floor but however I also found some nifty Mossy Oak camo outdoor carpet at Wal-Mart for 10 bucks a roll, would I be better off just using the bed coating or laying down some sound deadning mat and then applying carpet?

 

depends on what you use it for...

I like the rubber floor in mine b/c I constantly have muddy boots. That being said carpet and a sound deadening material will keep the cab warmer and quieter but will also hold moisture to teh metal floor... your call

 

put the bed liner down then do the sound deadening material and carpet

 

Agreed......Best of everthang....lol

*Note*

Clean the underside of the floorboards, about 5" or so from the welded areas......

Then use a propane torch to rid it of ANY moisture (Trick I learned from an oldtimer when putting gutters together...)

And THEN apply some bedliner immediately after its cooled a tad....(The heat will help cure the liner, since its UNDER the truck, outta the sunlight...)

And VOILA! No more rust issue, and you've eliminated it from getting a chance to come back......
