I got a western Star with the 86 inch sleeper. I wanna do this exact same thing but need to find a water leak in the fire wall first. I can’t wait till it’s done. It’s bare metal inside now while I check it for water leaks before I install any wood.
It's coming from where the cap meets the truck body (upper stack mount are under the cap, RTV a blockage on the gutter if it's a strato cab) running lights and down the a Pilar, and another leak would be getting under the windshield where the gasket seats. They have a habit of rusting away. Also check your condensor and see if the condensation drain is plugged 👍👍 happy hunting!
All American Trucker rob condenser is clear. But windshield does have rusting we’re it mounts. It’s a mid roof. U can see the truck and on my u tube. I just had a full out of frame rebuild. Now I’m going to start working on the inside. Then lastly I want to do the full paint.
You did a great job. I do wonder about the soft insulation under the floor, wouldn't that allow the floor to sink when stepping around in the truck. I ask because when I did my freightliner coronado, I used 1/4" pvc board, self tapping screws and then used adhesive to keep the planks firm.
@All American Trucker rob. That looks great. Gonna do this to my 2006 4900. What was the caulking for? And what did you do at the front of the floor where it curves up under the dash to where it meets the firewall?
Hello, i have a w900 as well, that i want to do, could it be the quality of the material? Should i get the most expensive one? Any other tips? Thank you guys.
Really nice idea ! I've seen it done before but I always thought it was a vinyl wrap! I'm in the process of restoring a 97 international 9300... The floor is pretty shot. What did you use as the base for the floor? Some type of insulation ? Underneath my rubber floor is just metal but it has stampings so it's not perfectly level....
Just use some thin rubber insulate or sound deadening youd use to wrap a car trunk for a subwoofer anti-vibrate padding. Keep it less than 3/8 of an inch. I laid one too thick and it makes the floor separate
I’m going to start this project on my truck next week. Is that vinyl with the rubber backing ? I’m going to use that rubber that they sell at harbor freight down first then this. Do you think that will work? Anything you would have done different?
Honestly, thats what i would do. I used a foam insert instead of rubber. My first mistake... its a floating floor so it needs something.... "not as squishy" to put it down on
Water shouldnt be coming into the cab. Its solid through and through separated by 3 inches of honeycomb insulation. But my advice, put 1/8 rubber matt (sound deadening matt or equivelant) and dont do the recycled vinyl at 1/2 and inch or whatever. Made the floor flex entirely too much 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@Rollin832 i used to have water come from the "cap" of the cab, and it follows down the side to the floor. Example, i had a bad seal on my cap by both stacks outside that would leak inside my cab from where the stacks mount to the cab where the cap of the cab meets. Just comes in and makes puddles.
Still holding strong! No scratches still... I upgraded a lot more to the interior as well. Stainless fridge with a separate freezer. 4.8 sq foot. Fits quite nicely!
@@noahnadia070211 i messed up and used a recycled industrial carpet pad. Shoulda used something more solid like 3/8 rubber soundproofing. Thats what i wouldve done differently
Lino Espinoza home depot, fake slats -click in style- any kind you want, and I used thin carpet pad (dont do it) but you should use floor soundproofing, it'll work better. Home depot for wood and hardware, any car stereo store for soundproofing for underlay
Brandon Jay yeah it was really easy to cut with a jigsaw. Just marked where I had to cut with a marker, brought it back in and if it was too tight, cut a tiny bit more. Each piece that i had to cut only took about 2 minutes to fit right
howie mcnabb don't even think about it just run to Home Depot grab some under carpet matting the fun stuff and two boxes of wood planking that click together the fake stuff. It's double waterproof and super easy to install
Gamer Squad i have kenworth t600. i like the sleepers wood floor. looking very nice. can u show the picture please how is finished full job bcoz kenworth t600 bunk's have one step close to the bed.thanks

Looks good! I put oak hardwood flooring in my 4964 western star 👍😎
Handsome job! Makes for a richly elegant interior. (For some reason, it won’t let me “like” the video for you.)
Good job Rob, now you will ride in style!!!

awesome job! hope to get this done on my rig ill have someday
nice work driver. I did my freightliner in a Applewood floor.
You did a great job. I do wonder about the soft insulation under the floor, wouldn't that allow the floor to sink when stepping around in the truck.
I ask because when I did my freightliner coronado, I used 1/4" pvc board, self tapping screws and then used adhesive to keep the planks firm.
I was wondering the same.
Lol, when he frustrated, he flips his finger to a transmission. 0:58
Kahramon Umarov 😂 hahahah
At some point in the video the caulking flies out all over the floor and the spot that I didn't see for a while was on the steering wheel 😅😅
@All American Trucker rob. That looks great. Gonna do this to my 2006 4900. What was the caulking for? And what did you do at the front of the floor where it curves up under the dash to where it meets the firewall?
Caulking was so it doesnt move when installing the pieces where it bends upwards. Boards laid in place going up the bend
That's awesome
i did this to my 9900i and it lasted about 2 years then a few pieces broke where they fold together.
New Jack yeah it just happened to mine but its hardly noticable still

@@allamericantruckerrob9777 Thanks for the heads up! I'm definitely gonna try this one out !
What do you use to hold the flooring in place?
It clicks in and i self tapped it in the front with self tapping screws. 4 of them, thats it. Hasnt budged for a while now
I was thinking of adding tile on mine instead of wood but then I think tile might be a bit heavy lol
Prone to cracking too i could imagine...
when the interior of a truck is bigger than my living room .... :D
I’m going to start this project on my truck next week. Is that vinyl with the rubber backing ? I’m going to use that rubber that they sell at harbor freight down first then this. Do you think that will work? Anything you would have done different?

Where are you i need this
What did you put under the wood to prevent water coming into the cab ?
Water shouldnt be coming into the cab. Its solid through and through separated by 3 inches of honeycomb insulation. But my advice, put 1/8 rubber matt (sound deadening matt or equivelant) and dont do the recycled vinyl at 1/2 and inch or whatever. Made the floor flex entirely too much 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks man! I’m having that problem that water comes into the cab, so I was thinking about replacing the floor.
@@Rollin832 i used to have water come from the "cap" of the cab, and it follows down the side to the floor.

How is that holding up? Have you taken it out yet?
Still holding strong! No scratches still... I upgraded a lot more to the interior as well. Stainless fridge with a separate freezer. 4.8 sq foot. Fits quite nicely!
Did you remove the rubber floor first?
Yes I did it smelled like shit
@@wackedoutsurfer nice. I had wood floors in mine but I didn't take the rubber out. What all did you use under the wood floors
@@noahnadia070211 i messed up and used a recycled industrial carpet pad. Shoulda used something more solid like 3/8 rubber soundproofing. Thats what i wouldve done differently
Oh ok. Thank you for the info
where can I buy the wood floor material and what kind is it? great work,bro.

Nice 😍
So it doesn't take that long to install. I've been thinking about putting hardwood in my 587.
Took 1 afternoon including tearout
@@allamericantruckerrob9777 YES!! I'm definitely gonna do it. Is there a company that makes them precut?
@@truckingandtraveling yeah they will rip you off
@@allamericantruckerrob9777 so, just buy the wood and cut it myself?
What sub flooring do you recommend? My 379 floor is trashed.
.
Did cut it all you self
Brandon Jay yeah it was really easy to cut with a jigsaw. Just marked where I had to cut with a marker, brought it back in and if it was too tight, cut a tiny bit more. Each piece that i had to cut only took about 2 minutes to fit right
I want that in my pete
howie mcnabb don't even think about it just run to Home Depot grab some under carpet matting the fun stuff and two boxes of wood planking that click together the fake stuff. It's double waterproof and super easy to install
howie mcnabb the fake wood sorry my speech-to-text is terrible
Where u got the flooring from
Home depot
Wow I need this
How did it cost you to do the floor
About $175
How many boxes did you need I have a freightliner I want to do
@@trstruckingllc 1.5 i would assume. And if you dont use the second box, just take it back
@@allamericantruckerrob9777 ok thanks did you use any trimming
@@trstruckingllc none, didnt need to
how thick is the floor you bought?
Gamer Squad it's the click-in fake stuff... So maybe 1/4 inch?
