Re: Intro from an old Assembly Plant guy

I didn't want you guys to think I was slackin'; I've been working on putting the new floor covering in.

Here's the dead stuff, coming out:









...and here's the new stuff going in. There was quite a bit of extra material on either side, and fore/aft, so I elected to position it based on the seat "humps" in the floor (and the seat attachments) and then trim the front portion to fit.

This was quite a bit thicker/heavier than the original mat, which I think is going to be good for durability but it makes it a little hard to work with (unless you can get it warm and to soften up).





I left it loose for a couple days, so that it could conform to the floor from the heat inside the cab (from sitting in the sun).
