I got tired of looking at the bare floor when I get in the truck so now that’s it’s warmed up a bit I got back on the little Ram 50 again this weekend.

It’s being used mostly as a work truck so as usual I decided to go with a low maintenance interior that is easy to clean up. The seat would be done in vinyl and I wanted to go with a rubber floor mat instead of carpet.
With the modified trans tunnel I knew a stock floor mat wouldn’t fit (and they don’t seem to be offered anymore anyway). I originally hoped to find a molded mat from a full sized truck that could be cut down to fit. After doing some measuring on a few trucks and not finding anything that looked like it would work I ended up just buying the rubber in bulk and went from there. The seat got pulled and sent out to the upholster Friday and I started on the floor.
The first thing I did was lay some insulation in.

Then spent most of Saturday pulling, stretching, trimming and gluing the mat down.

I didn’t worry too much about the wrinkles at the back of the trans tunnel as they are hidden when the seat’s installed.
The seat was finally done today and I managed to get it installed this afternoon. Nothing fancy, but a whole lot better than before!!!

.I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....
