 Topic: Plywood InstallationPosted: 29/August/2006 at 11:05pm |

I am purchasing a new van and have decided to install the plywood myself to save a few bucks. I should not have problems doing this myself, being as I worked rough-in carpentry for 2 years, however if anyone has any tips or suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
My salesman gave me the type of screw that their install guys use. Also said to use 1/2 inch. Then of course install the indoor/outdoor carpeting. I am installing a boxxer 421 in a ford e-250 extended van. Thanks for all your help! |

The Great One is right. On our GM vans we removed the rubber mat than the sound suppression. Install the plywood, put a good heavy coat of sealer on the plywood than reinstall the rubber mat. But since it is a FORD I don't think they are worth preserving?? Just kidding.

I know that instead of re-installing the rubber mat, they lay an indoor/outdoor carpeting. Should i just completley take out the rubber mat and sound suppression padding and then install the plywood? And then the indoor/outdoor carpeting?

Your choice??? In all my vans I have always used the rubber mat. Why not just put a nice 50 oz saxony in the van and make it look more appealing?? I personally don't think that is a place for carpet. But who am I??
