I've got a leak in the cab of the 82 when it rains hard. And it gets the driver's side floor wet. Since I'm not trying to have the interior perfect I don't care about carpet at all. So I was thinking of buying the premolded rubber flooring for it. My thought was maybe put bedliner on first then put the rubber flooring on top afterwards. That way it doesn't get the carpet soaked and rust the floor. Does that sound like a good idea or not? Anyone try something like that? Thanks for your help.

Even if you do rubber, Fix the leak first. Bad stuff happens when water gets in the cab.
Agreed. And putting the rubber flooring over the wet floor will rust it out even faster since it traps the moisture in more than carpet.
