Replacing the carpet in the truck...
So, has anyone removed the carpet from their crew cab?
With 101,000 miles, my carpet smells moldy on damp days, due to me getting snow, water, pig poo, and various other things smeared into my carpet. Its discolored in spots, and just looks bad. I have a yellow lab that I also love to pieces. SO, what I was thinkin of doing, was bed-lining the raw metal underneath and then replacing the carpet with like a rubber floor like you would find in "work-model" pick up trucks from the dealer. From experience they are a piece of cake to clean, and not too noisy. This rubber mat would facilitate in cleaning up dog hair after "Bo" would go for a ride, and also forbid he relieve himself in the back seat. Im considering removing my rear bench seat anyways, and getting seat covers up front, so I can wash them at a moments notice. Opinions, thoughts, suggestions???

Pull everything except the driver's seat but have it ready to pull. Take it to a professional and have them clean clean it. I did that to my extended cab Z and it came out like new.

I replaced the carpet in my last S-10 and I am going to replace the carpet in the Blazer very soon. Its a very easy job with a lot of reward when its done. When I sold my 87 S the guy that bought it opened the door and raved over the interior. It was the selling point that got me more money than the truck blue booked for.

Not quite the most cost efective way of doing it but, maybe a spray on? EASY clean up, just drill a few holes to drain and no more pig poo on the floor boards

Reed I really wanna try that, but the only thing I can think is this:
I dont know how much they would charge to do that but, that money could be applied to a new piece of carpet( ya know, smells all new and nice) or it could be put towards the rubber mat idea. Only other thing is, dog hair DOES NOT wanna come out of carpet, as im sure alot of you know. I guess Im looking for like the most comfortable yet cleanable flooring out there...and I dont want to make the truck look cheap in the process.

You can always pull out the current carpet. Have it cleaned or clean it yourself out of the truck. Do the spray in bed liner idea. Then when you are ready to sell.. slap the carpet back in.
Be ready for some serious road noise. I've ridden in a lot of auto x cars with the carpet and isolation removed. They are LOUD. Its AMAZING how many rocks hit the bottom of your vehicle just driving down the road. The bed liner might help.

<<<<<<<Retired police K9 handler (13 yrs with hairy partners) and yes I know all about dog hair not wanting to come out. Contact your local Stanley Steamer (or similar outfit) and tell them what you want to do. Tell them that you will come to them! All they need to do is perform their magic on 100 sq ft (over estimated) and what will it cost. They have specials to clean one household room for $99 so you should be 1/4 of that.
Yes, I looked at rubber flooring like police packages have when I got my CC and didn't have much luck finding something to fit.
BTW, I own high dollar Kirby and Electrolux Vacuums but, those dastardly hairs find their way into carpet and cloth seats standing on their ends and sometimes you just need to grab one at a time to keep it from burrowing deeper.

yah i forgot all about that, hence f9k9. wow, school is making me dumber i think. anyways, well i guess i could give the carpet steamer cleaner guys a chance, maybe try the liner idea first, and if absolutely terrified, just put it back in. Wonder if the full size version could me made to fit?? I dunno, I just need something low maintenance, and picking out dog hair one at a time, well, yah, thats not gonna save me much time I would guess...

The floor mat / liners would help. I have Conman's old mats and they are GREAT!
Highland floor guard liners look similar to mine.
Cabela's has some seat covers that might be the ticket for a dog in the back seat. A friend just ordered some for his fullsize.

I would call before I ordered online. Look at the years. The crew cab was not sold in the US until 2001. Why they have the years listed 1997 - 1999 is beyond me. I believe the truck was made then but not sold here. Was there a different body? Call Them!!

WOW, ok back to square one. Stupid old woman. Shes was a real bi***!
I politely asked her about the year discrepancy, and told her i have an O3. She says it wont fit. I said ok, then what would that application fit, and she says the 97-99 Crew Cab, and then I told her politely, those dont exist, and she hung up the phone. interesting....

I called them after I read your post and got the same kind of a response but it was a man that I talked to. He also hung up on me. Nice customer service. I'll search around some more and see what I come up with.

hmmm, they have a listing for blazers on there and rubber floors. i wonder how far off the blazer and the crew cab floors are off? Can anyone confirm or deny the hump under the back seat in a blazer like the crew cabs have? I dont mind trimming, but I wouldnt tolerate wrinkling or un snug fit....

The Blazer has a hump but it is 19" off the back of the center console. In the crew it measures around 11". It may work but you would have to cut it at the hump and pull the it forward. I will keep looking for you but it doesn't look promising.

You want to call this company and ask them about the year? I took the last beating.

Did you guys ever find out if any of this flooring fit?I noticed it still states 97-99 on their website. Thinking about getting a dog in the future and would like to find something to make cleaning easier.

The first link I gave in this post now has changed the years on their S-10 Crew carpet but I wouldn't buy a glass of water from them in the desert if I was dying of thirst. Very nasty customer service.
