1972 SIII upgrades?

Horse stall mats work very well as Bill stated. They are for less expensive than the acoustic mats that are sold for Series trucks.

The only problem with the one I bought and cut for my 88 was the smell. It took maybe a year not to have the strong petroleum smell to it from the manufacturing process. Nothing ever damaged it though. Engine blocks, dogs claws, spills, or anything.

I'll second the GnR board as well since there are a lot of members from CO which is not too far away.

2 problems that I have had; 1) the smell, and 2) they will turn stuff black (like your hands & knees if you crawl on them).

I must have gotten lucky as I did not experience any smell or the mat turning stuff black problems.

I used a couple of coats of mop and glow floor wax on mine. It pretty much resolves the black transfer issue when it is new. The off gassing issue never seemed to be a problem unless the truck was cooking in the sun for a long time. It vents off quickly with all the air leaks in the vehicle.

Interesting. I may have to try this, since I use this matting in strategic places around the kid's playscape.

I learned this trick from a state trooper. they use it on the vynyl floors in the back of the cruisers, so that they clean easier, and the smell of vomit doesn't linger after.

I used the Exmoor floor mat material I also put new material on the bench seat.. It the bar on the seat pointed in the right direction.. When turning down the seat seat, it run into the seat belt posts

thanks
