I remember doing this on my 79 Sierra Classic with a JC Whitney floor kit back in the day. I remember it being a pain in the ass but I liked the finished product way better than old carpet.
Just finished up my 90 Blazer with LMC sound deadner with new jute under LMC carpet kit. Used dynopad in the rear cargo area, 74 dba in the cab with stock exhaust, 33" toyo mt and a megnaflow muffler. Nice and tight solid feel cruising 75mph down the hwy. One tip!! Use an old soldering iron to punch out bolt holes through the carpet. Super clean fit. Only thing is the heel pad is not centered in the driver floor and ends up running up the side of the tunnel.
Nice install....id have used a heat gun on its low setting to help settle the wrinkles out of the flooring and make it a little easier to work into the tight spots.
Great Vid. Kevin you are the best. Flooring is too shiny but I will probably get one. I can't stand cut pile carpet. I love loop carpet but can not find it for 73-87 squarebody truck.
I'd love to see your install after it has "sat for a few days." I've seen experts at LMC and ACC do MIP installs that end up with wrinkles, and DIY consumer MIP installs that look like disasters even after baking for days with a space heater. I have never seen a smooth looking job. Thank you for truth in advertising, but I don't believe one of these MIP vinyl floors has a chance of ever looking good.
I heard your vehicle must be designed for this kind of carpets to work, otherwise your metal floor will rust out as humidity has nowhere to go. with normal carpets water just vaporises from it but with these water gets trapped. is this true?
Bought the flooring for a Chevy Tahoe 4x4. Had only one impression for a seatbelt location. Material didn't want to lay flat or is nowhere near as soft looking or flexible as he made it look. Even with it sitting in my living room two days with a heater on it.
Hello SueLee. We d not offer the MIP floormats for the G20. Please see the link below for the rubber floor mats we offer. www.lmctruck.com/1971-12-chevy-van-gmc-van-ford-van-dodge-van/floor-mats/heavy-duty-rubber-floor-mat-sets
I never saw this comment. Maybe too late but yes there are some modifications. I used the original 85 seat tracks but had to engineer them to fit the seat frame. I do have pics i followed from another who provided his experience on one of the blog sites.
Do y’all know what year truck that seat is out of? Also where can I find some black/chrome trim like the one on this truck? Only see the full chrome on the catalog
Wish it was this easy. On the 84 dodge truck kit the molded areas were crap. Wavy rough cut across the back where your “supposed to start” If I line up the moldings and the back of the cab with the factory edge I’m lobbing off 18” of material which is SUPER easy under the dash. Quality is junk.
this is what i need for my truck but LMCTruck, you don't have any parts for my truck. 1987-1996 Dodge Dakota. Mine is a 1995 Dodge Dakota 4x4 extended cab. Please tell me why you don't have parts for my truck. These first gen dakota's need more tlc than the second gen dakota's.
Not all these kits are the same. Got one from LMC for a ranger and it was not molded, there are no predetetmined holes for seat and seat belt installation. Pretty sure I've already ruined it. Enjoy my money!
How to I stall rubber mat: Step one. Throw in trash. Step two. Get carpet. Every chevy with rubber mat, has haf floor to rust through. Never a nice floor, my theory is the water will get in no matter what. Then can't evaporate under the rubber.
Carpet might look better initially, but if you're using the truck in wet and dirty conditions it goes to heck in no time. Last year I got a Base Sierra to replace my 2002 Silverado WT. The old truck's factory mat was still going strong at 170,000 miles and 15 years.
Talk about 10lbs of shit into a 5lb bag. Had to trim about 6" off all the way around. If I did it again would do the half mat. If they could figure out a way so that you had very minimal trimming. It's extremely difficult to trim up under the dash laying upside down. Sill plates don't fit now cause it's wadded up in the back corner. I like LMCs stuff but this one is a bit too much. You better have a lot of patience if you plan on this one
We're sorry we didn't accommodate your expectations on your parts Andres! You're more than welcome to return them for a refund if they're in new-like condition! Feel free to call 1-800-562-8782 with any questions.
I am very happy with the MIP floor mat. Kudos to LMC and Kevin Tetz.
I remember doing this on my 79 Sierra Classic with a JC Whitney floor kit back in the day. I remember it being a pain in the ass but I liked the finished product way better than old carpet.
Wow, I use to have an 84 just like that. The same color red also. I loved it.
One of the best instructional videos I have ever seen.

Looks great. Gonna do the same thing on my Toyota Pickup soon. Just bought a vinyl flooring kit.
I want to adopt Kevin Tetz and have him come and live with me and work on trucks. Whatta ya say Kevin!!!
Just purchased mine for my 64 GMC glad I watch this
It has been a year since I bought mine, finally have the time to upgrade the complete interior.
Just bought vinyl floors great video!
Looks great Kevin. Thanks for the video.
I'm thinking a heat gun may help with the wrinkles.
Nice install....id have used a heat gun on its low setting to help settle the wrinkles out of the flooring and make it a little easier to work into the tight spots.
Nice cutting, love how you use a non stainless steel blade and scratch the floorboard paint. Real professional
Why does it matter if the blade he sees is stainless😂
Great tutorial. Thank you!
Put your bolts in before the mat that way its easier to locate all holes and then use your hole saw over patruding bolts in reverse
Reparación de tren delantero Silverado 80!
I can’t find it on your website for that mat, I have a 85. Where can I find one just like that? I like how it’s easy to clean and maintain
How can you install it around a floor shifter without messing up?
The heat shielding goes shiny side first or carpet down first?
Shiny first, been researching this a bit and that's what I've gathered.
Is there a red version of that floor mat?
Great Vid. Kevin you are the best. Flooring is too shiny but I will probably get one.
I can't stand cut pile carpet. I love loop carpet but can not find it for 73-87 squarebody truck.
I found loop but you have to look at 73 and 74 year model. much nicer than pile.
I wish had everything they took off this truck. Am poor so its a s%it box but it runs great.
Can these floor mats be painted to match the original interior color? If so what kind of paint would work best?
Hi!! They can be dyed, but the floor is a "High Traffic" area and is not recommended.
Hello LMC, are c10, c20 similar to k20 Parts? Thanks
Yes they are
How do you get rid of the huge wrinkles?
I'd love to see your install after it has "sat for a few days."

How much would that vynal be for a 91 extended cab c1500
I heard your vehicle must be designed for this kind of carpets to work, otherwise your metal floor will rust out as humidity has nowhere to go. with normal carpets water just vaporises from it but with these water gets trapped. is this true?
I love the wuality of LMC products. Do they body panels fit as well? Thanks Kevin.
The small panels are fine for patching. I hear larger panels are not as thick as OEM sheetmetal, so buyer beware!
DynCorn aftermarket panels
Can't get the wrinkles out of mine so it lays flat any advice
Did you ever get the wrinkles out?
Same here, molding quality is absolute junk. Nearly $200 for this quality is pretty ridiculous. I’m sure they are sourcing from some Chinese supplier.
is this seat of an OBS 1988 and up?
94 obs
Will that process be the same if you put down carpet down instead of that floor mat on a 1986 GMC Sierra classic 1500 regular cab long bed 1/2 ton
Hello, the process will be the same but our LMC carpet will not need to be trimmed like the MIP mat was.
What color was the carpet you took out? It kind of looked red, and kind of looked brown.
Thanks!
It was the original burgundy color carpet. It was just old, faded and dirty.
Wanna put rubber flooring on my Titan.

what is wih old chevy truck , when you close the doors they sound as if something is loose... always in older trucks from the eighties
Probably because the plastic that holds the door rods gets so worn out from the doors being slammed lol
The window moulding felt was gone in this video. Had just painted door panels and about to do vent windows before this opportunity came up.
Hi there! Do y’all ever do custom molds for newer vehicles not listed on your website?
Hi Zandria, we do not take custom requests unfortunately.
Will this fit for a 1991 Chevy g20?

Are any mods needed to install that 90s model Chevy bench seat in the squarbody?
It looks to me like the back of the speaker the magnets are hitting the cab
Did you have to customize anything to mount that 90s model bench seat in there?
I never saw this comment. Maybe too late but yes there are some modifications. I used the original 85 seat tracks but had to engineer them to fit the seat frame. I do have pics i followed from another who provided his experience on one of the blog sites.
I ordered this and never got the jute backing with it .wth
Hi Kevin, if you would give us a call at 1 800 562 8782 we're happy to take care of this.
Do you guys make any components for the 90s chevys
We sure do! Our 1988-98 catalog can be found here www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/cd/t.aspx
LMCTruck thank you for the information
Thx
Anyone know best way to clean this flooring
honestly, a slightly soapy wet rag. Once clean, to get a shiny surface, use what you would on your dash... any of the products will work.
Somebody know we're to find interiors silling moulding for a 87dodge truck
This I'm going to buy I can ride my dogs without having to vacuum after.
Is that seat a direct bolt on?
No. I had to make a mount using the original seat tracks. Not very difficult I'm a novice.
A cheaper substitute for that sound mat, the shiny stuff, is wide rolls of flashing tape. Might not be as thick but muuuuuuch cheaper.
John Wirk Flashing tape does not do what this stuff does!
When will you guys be starting an 80’-86’ F-series project??? Videos are great btw
Do y’all know what year truck that seat is out of? Also where can I find some black/chrome trim like the one on this truck? Only see the full chrome on the catalog
Myles W ‘90-‘94
The trim was bought at O'reillys auto parts. If I'm correct the seat came out of a 94 model.
@@terryr7054 I am pretty sure this interior is out of a 91 suburban.
@@tachitosway I can definitely tell you it came out of a 94 C1500

Prob cause there isn’t as much of a following for those trucks. Market would be small.
Its to bad you can't get a floor mat that fits with out trimming.

Instructions say to let it sit unfolded for 48 hours…is that right?
Yes
And can I get through y'all
Anyone know the name of those wheels?
They were progressive brand wheels from the late 80’s
The peel and stick sound deadening material looks like a nightmare later on down the road if this is ever done again
It is made from Rubber Butyl, you will be dead before that stuff wears out.
@@ze_german2921 ya it's just hold moister and rots out the floor. Wich is already a problem. Lol

Sorry man but 180 is too damn much for a floor mat
Jack Watters it’s a fairly nice mat! I’d hate to see what your truck looks like if you aren’t willing to spend $180...
Daniel McGee I Paid 130 for carpet and it looks really nice
I need my basic arse magna done here in Aus and it'll cost me $350-$450 to do it myself. That's just material.
It would be worth the price if it fit properly
