Rubber diamond plate installed and got the first round of the floor sanding done. I like the look of the diamond plate. I need to get my kick panels now.

Excellent!
I like the way the diamond plate worked out. I might have to steel that idea for my firewall and floorboards

Keep up the good work

Same here. I like that look and may steal it too.

Did you buy it at the local big box home improvement store by the foot?

Truck is coming along nicely.

Thanks guys!! I'm glad everyone likes my firewall covering. I bought a 4'x6' piece on line for $50 + $15 shipping. It was more than enough. I had extra left over which I used to line two of my compartments. Here is the link to the company:

Keith? Is that a chrome rubber mat. I found all kind of diamond plate mat in the link but none chrome. I'm missing something here. Right?

I checked the last link also. It said it comes in black. Yours is chrome, or I am color blind.

The floor is metal diamond plate (chrome). The diamond plate on the firewall is a rubber mat like the one at the link.
