Vinyl floors anyone?

[Ty V.]

Well since my "The Beast" is getting what seems like restored, I decided that my carpet can be replaced. While looking through Bronco Graveyard I stumbled across this http://broncograveyard.com/bronco/i-37640-bronco-complete-vinyl-floor-cover-black.html. Now I decided carpet seems boring and that I'd like to do this vinyl deal. Anyone have any experience with vinyl instead of carpets? Thoughts on it? Pics would be a lovely addition to a response post [-o< ! Thanks in advance guys!

yo TY,

I have the vinyl floor in the 96; bought it new and it still looks like NEW! We have done sand runs for surf fishing and just to be on the beach and the vinbyl is so easy to clean up w/whisk broom and & soap and water.



This is one of few pics I have of the rear floor section behind the Tuffy Console; we have 3 big ones that usually sat back there and now have 2 baby seats; so it has been walked on, milk spilled on and... ya know!

I would hate to have a carpet in it or another vehicle.

Usually instructions come with carpet kits; they advise leaving the stuff fully open in a warm place, preferably sunny for awhile before installing.

ok, here is one site w/info; substitute vinyl for carpet;

Excerpt:

"...Remove your new automobile carpet from the box, unroll and lay the carpet in a warm area and allow it to settle for one to two hours before attempting to install. This will allow the automobile carpet to regain its molded shape. Using your hand, you can push the contoured sections of your new carpet back to their molded position. Keep in mind, the carpet may have wrinkles that do not relax completely before being installed, and the molded contours in the carpet may look flattened from shipping; this is normal. After being installed properly, the carpet will regain and hold its molded shape..."

Also, be prepared to deal w/rusted floor pan! Have wire brushes on drill or angle grinder w/abrasive discs and metal to patch. There are some Patch Panel links in my site @ http://www.broncolinks.com/index.php?index=301

Enjoy!

What are you going to use the Bronc for?

Vinyl cleans easy, but is a little colder in winter, and doesn't muffle sound as well.

Got kids? pets? Wife? you better take all into concideration, or you could regret it.....mostly from a wife...BTDT

It'll be my daily driver as well as my fun vehicle. Right now I'm a single college student, so it's just friends and me who'll be riding in it. Entirely my choice, just one of the advantages of single life /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> .

P.S. Renamed the Bronc from "The Beast" to "The Big Bucker"

Appreciate it man. Yeah it has dual exhaust /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />. That sounds perfect for what I want it for. I want to drive it on the beach next summer.

What year f250 (I know off topic, but I like the F series a lot too). That does sound like a nice thought as well.
