Pergo type flooring in a truck

You are correct about the sleeper step down in a KW. I'm wanting to do both if I can. I'll take pics.

 

I called uncle after over 6 hrs and I was still on the cab part.



What I learned that may make things much easier for you if you want to try this type of flooring. Remove the pedals and all seat belt hardware. Reinstall on top of new flooring. This will require two people, one inside and one under the floor holding a wrench. This probably won't be the easiest thing.

I tried to cut around the pedals and was not impressed by the look. It does not look finished. I kept soldiering on until I got to the seat belt hardware, where again I was going to be faced with an unfinished look that I was not going to be happy with.

I am going to go ahead and do the sleeper area in the laminate flooring, and go to Lowes and get some of their rubber flooring and do the cab area in that. I'll be able get a more finished look with that, that I'll be happy with.


The first pic shows WHY the carpet on this truck had to go, and the second shows why I'm unhappy with the look around the pedals. I know I'm not a finish carpenter, maybe this is why it didn't turn out.









The door edges have trim that goes over that, thats why I left that edge uneven.

 

Ronno a scroll saw, jig saw, or a coping saw would probably work. The problem is I'm not a carpenter, I know I'm not good at this, I don't have the previous mentioned tools and I am not happy with the look of what I've finished so far.

 

I didn't think you were, just explaining that as part of the reason I wasn't happy with how things turned.


Well the final verdict is I spent $90 on a lesson for myself and the rest of ya'll. Snap together flooring aint workin. Or at least it didn't for me. Without ENTIRELY gutting the cab and sleeper its next to impossible to do on a KW. Some of the other trucks that are put together differently might be another story. I couldn't even do the sleeper area without gutting that as well. I don't want to work that hard.

What I did end up doing that I like so far was get some sheet rubber flooring from Lowes. With a utility knife I was able to make that look pretty good! Just got to get another length tomorrow for the sleeper area then I'm done.
