While working on the transmission, I decided to redo my interior and tore it all out (seat, carpet etc) and I'm thankful i did, there was sitting water in the drivers side footwell.

Well my plan now is to replace the carpet with the rhino liner material they use in the beds of trucks. Anyone done this? Can you comment on the quality?

I also wanna put captains or buckets in to replace the bench seat. Does anyone know what to do about the lack of bolt holes for doing this? The bench seat is only help down with 4 bolts, 2 on either side. Would i have to make new mounting holes?

I have found this stuff (Boom Mat)that I think i could use under the cab to reduce road noise. It says heat resistant up to 300 degrees so it should be suitable to sit under the cab.

 

I haven't done that to a 150, but I did do it on my previous Toyota P/U. I loved having the linex liner instead of carpet because I hunt and everything. The only problem with it is that it shows lall the contour lines in the floor and it also doesn't clean very well. It's easy to clean up messes but compact dirt tends to stick more. It's definitly louder too. I would only recommend it on a truck you are going to be off roading/beating up. I definitly wouldn't do it on my F150, but don't know what you use your truck for. As for the seats, no idea.

 

I've found a product called Boom Mat which is a spray on noise reducer so I'm going to spray that beneath the rhino liner. I'm not much bothered about dirt in my truck. In the last year and a half I haven't once cleaned it.

 

i had a 01 F150 that came stock with a bench seat, stick shift v6 and the linex type floor. i loved it. for me it was easy to clean and more durable and less worry free than carpet.
