New m1009 Floors via extreeme liner

[SGTskully]

Ok so after a crappy day, in my current situation, I set out to prep Arewen(my M1009) for new floors.

Remove all interior items, seats, gear ect.
Removed what was left of the floor mat, and this is what I got. A few rust throughs that need fixed. Not an issue, A couple of bolts thsat the heads broke off of, not an issue. and some prep work that needs done.

A good cleaning, some parch work, and a good wipe down and we'll be ready to spray the floors.
''Onward til tommorrow"!!

Good luck. It dosent look REAL bad. What are you doing with the holes for patch work? welding? I did mine last year no major holes but took 2-days. 1-day prep and 1-day painting with herculiner.
It makes the inside alot nicer and a little more quite.

 

[SGTskully]

I ll probably spot weld patches in place then seal them with firm seal. Some of mine is pretty brittle.

new floors

So after a whole day of prep work, the floors are ready to be wiped down again and sprayed with extreemeliner.

First thing I did was cut out any firm sealant that was loose or looked like it had gotten water under it, the more I checked the more I found.
If the edge is coming up or its cracked good chance it has rust under it.

pulled off the factory glued mat pads and found the same under them.

I have been using Permatex rust treatment for a few years now and had excellent results. I cleaned up all rusty areas with a grinder and/or wire wheel, blew them off, wiped down with MEK and sprayed with Permatex rust treatment.

THen I patched the holes with metal patches formed to match the floors and recaulked everything that needed it.
Should be sealed up good on top. tommorrow she gets a new extreeme lliner sprayed in.
Ill tackle the underside in a few days so it all isnt a waste.

two Gallons of liner a long nite and heres how it went. Masked off all areas but floors. cover all screw//bolt holes. Blow out dust, block sand all areas, blow out and clean w laquer thinner.
Mixed liner and sprayed two full gallons in about 4 hours.
Its curing out and looks awesome.

looks great

What kind of front seat mount are those?

 

[forest522]

Very well done sir! Funny, I had rust in the same places and i'm in the process of doing the same thing. The bed/cargo area has a slight 'sink' to it, and the area around the fuel filler tube cover has some surface rust as well.

Is Permatex a spray on sort of POR 15?

Again, bravely done - looks great!

 

[SGTskully]

The Permatex spray is a rust treatment. it really doesnt say on the can but I tried it as an alternative to naval gelly a few years back and it works great. Not as expensive as POR 15 and readily available. Thanx for the Kudos and good luck with yours

THey are the stock military mounts, I just cleaned up the rust reprimed them and then sprayed them with Rustoleum Hammered paint.

My truck is a 1984 and the seat mounts are not the same, what year is yours?

And thanks

 

[SGTskully]

It is an 86. I dont remember any differences in sifferent years but that was a long a time ago and its not really something we worried about. Did yours come from the Army or another branch?

 

[forest522]

The hammered paint is a good look, had it on a console for several years and it weathered well. I have an 84 as well and my seat mounts are also different.

Looks good though!

EXCELLENT JOB!!!! Just bought an M1009 and want to do the same thing. 3M makes a "brushable seam sealer" that is great. Really looks original and easy to use. Thanks for the pics and inspiration.

 

[islandguydon]

I am impressed, Good Job

Great job SGTskully! Cannot wait to go there myself. On your third batch of pictures # 8 of 8. I see a gloss black piece of sheet metal runing accross the floor. What is the pupose? I do not have on my 86 - 09.

 

[SGTskully]

Not real seur of the purpose of that. I do remember having them in our m1009,s in my ELM shop trucks. Just thought they were in all of them. It is a plastic piece and I just painted it Black Hammered like the seat mounts. I'll have to look in the tm's. May be a guard for wiring to run behind.
thanx
