Alternate options to carpet?
I'll be honest with you guys.
The previous owners of my truck weren't kind to the interior. The carpet is fricking gross. Everytime I clean up my messes in there I find something from them and I've cleaned that thing pretty damn good I think.
Anyways I've heard its pretty hard to get replacement carpet for these trucks aside from getting it custom. To be honest I could care less about carpet so i'm considering ripping it out one of these days. Actually a coworker gave me a pretty good idea on what to do when I rip it out.
Instead of leaving it bare metal or putting new carpet in there. What do you guys think of using bedliner for the flooring? Easy to vacuum and scrub, no lingering odors from almost 20 years ago either.
I'm considering it. What do you guys think?
If anyone has any experience with this strange idea the pros and cons would be nice to hear about also.

I put bedliner in my old 89 toyota pickup. It was loud as hell and wasn't insulated well in winter. What I'd suggest is go down to Lowes or Home Depot and get some rubber or asphalt sheets with the adhesive backs to use as sound dampeners and insulators, then put the bed liner over that.
Oh yeah, and buy a mask to wear when lining it. That stuff is toxic. I really really wish I would have waited, but for some reason all the stores around me were sold out of masks.

My truck has a bed lined floor. Not a bad idea, but it is LOUD AS HELL on the highway. (Also have no headliner). One other issue is that is isn't as easy to clean as you may think. I have some mudlike crap on the floor that is kinda ingrained into the bedliner... But oh well. Honestly unless you are a serious offroader put a carpet in it. If its a real work truck and it'll get dirty, get a rubber mat. However, bed liner will work if you're set on it.
