I have not had the chance to look into it but I have been thinking of going into a Home Depot and looking at their flooring materials. Maybe they might have some large rubber material. Another thought is looking for a company that make the rubber mats for industrial/business companies. Those mats that workers have to stand on for long periods of time. Those are nice and thick with a solid cushion. Just have to have a template of the bed to cut to fit.

Also saw in Summit in the truck section they sell bed mats but not for the El Camino. They sell a cool full size Chevy bed mat with the embossed bow-tie logo in the middle. Maybe that company can cut one to fit ours?

Just a thought.

Shane;

Just go out and pick up any full size truck mat and trim it to fit...that's what I did, came out pretty good. :cool:

I was thinking the same thought on that also, but aren't the full-size trucks wheel well openings in different locations?...Well I guess you can buy a bed mat form step-side with no fender wells in the bed then cut to fit.

Thanks 87SS for the tip on that idea also!
