Rubber floor covering

Hey, I'm trying to re-do the interior of my 73 gmc 2500 and I want to put a rubber floor liner in like the original instead of carpet. I've seen plenty of carpet kits and they're not that bad pricewise, but I would rather put a molded rubber floor cover in because they're so much easier to clean the mud and such out and I do a lot of dirty work outside sometimes. The original floor is all rusty but not rusted through, I was going to POR-15 and then use bedliner above that to make sure if any moisture gets in there ever again it won't be an issue, then use double insulated floor pad and rubber mat over that but I can't find it.
The other option is, of course, just to put in the carpet and get some good rubber floor mats which is what I'm looking at right now, but I'd rather do the whole thing in black rubber.

Re: Rubber floor covering

Considering the cost of a good quality rubber floor liner, not the cheap OEM type, I went with carpeting and Husyliner floor mats, then added Walmart Treadmill mat over the hump and over the area under the seats on the outside where there is a lot of wear. Cheap but very durable, and the carpet stays mint forever.

Re: Rubber floor covering

Where would I find the treadmill mat? I assume walmart, but what section since the people there never seem to know anything.
