Had a little time the other day so I jerked the plate off and stuck an old flatbed that I had laying around on it.

While it was in the shop, I wanted to do something about the lack of a floor mat. Since a new repop obviously isn't available and NOS is too spendy and hard to come by, I decided to make my own thinking it shouldn't be too hard since there is no hump in floor like pickups have.
One $37 3/4" thick horse trailer mat later and I have a floor mat.

While I still think it is a great idea, there are a couple problems.
1) Getting it in the truck was the hardest workout I have had in a long time. Trying to wrestle a 100 pound wet noodle into the cab of a really tall truck and trying to snake it around the steering wheel and three shifter levers proved to be quite difficult.
2) Being 3/4" thick, it really isn't overly flexible. I'm hoping that some 100* days this summer will help it lay out to the floor board a bit, but I'm a little skeptical of whether or not it actually will.
