    I was gonna buy the snap together stuff but I did the allure planks instead. Used it in my house and much easier to work with. 6 years now with 2 crazy border collies running around and not one scratch on the floor. I started in rear of truck and worked side to side. They way everything lays out square. The cab obviously isn’t square and tapers in toward front. When you get to the dooors, just kinda lay the plank as you would with the plank hangin out door. Then make door marks on the plank where to cut. Get a perfect taper for that plank. Just cut back far enough where you can get door weatherseal and trim back on.
    Allure planks have a sticky edge. It was cold when I did it, so I just ran a heat gun down the edges to insure it sticks. This flooring is thinner as well so you can put at least 1/2” of sound deadner in if you chose. But here’s the flooring

    I used thick snap together wood. In my head I think the snap together helps keep it uniform and perfect. I was afraid if I didn’t use snap together flooring then it wouldn’t stick and some pieces would move since my sleeper floor is not exactly even with bolts and rivets all over the place. It worked out good and would use the same flooring again.

    That’s the problem I ran into when I did my floor. My solution was to cut a couple pieces of diamond plate and use that for trim.

    Linoleum is slippery MOFO. Even dry. I looked at a used truck with it. I dang near did a maor split stepping into the door. It ain't for me.

    Thanks!

    They were scrap pieces I had laying around from another project. After a few beers I got creative.
