Frequently Asked Questions About International 8100-8300 Floor Accessories

Will these floor mats fit my specific International 8100-8300 model year?

Our floor accessories are designed to fit International 8100 and 8300 series trucks from 1989-1999. However, there were minor cab variations during this production run. Models with the standard day cab configuration will have the best fit. If you have an extended cab or sleeper configuration, the front floor mats will still fit, but you may need additional coverage for the sleeper area. We recommend checking your VIN against our compatibility chart or calling our support team with your specific year and cab configuration.

What's the difference between rubber and carpet floor mats, and which holds up better in commercial use?

Rubber floor mats are the go-to choice for heavy commercial use. They're waterproof, chemical-resistant, and can handle mud, grease, and constant foot traffic without degrading. Our heavy-duty rubber mats are 3/8" thick and feature deep channels to trap liquids and debris. Carpet mats provide a more finished appearance and better insulation but require more maintenance. They work well for owner-operators who want a cleaner cab appearance and don't deal with excessive dirt or moisture. Most commercial drivers choose rubber for durability and ease of cleaning - just hose them off and reinstall.

Do I need to drill holes or modify my truck to install these floor accessories?

No drilling or permanent modifications are required for our floor mats and most accessories. The floor mats use the factory retention posts and clips already in your International's cab floor. Some customers report that older trucks may have worn or missing retention clips - we sell replacement clip kits separately. For floor-mounted accessories like CB radio brackets or cup holders, some drilling may be required, but each product description clearly states installation requirements. The mats themselves are designed as direct replacements that utilize existing mounting points.

How thick are these mats, and will they interfere with my pedals or seat adjustment?

Our standard rubber floor mats are 3/8" thick, which maintains proper pedal clearance in International 8100-8300 cabs. The mats are contoured to follow the factory floor profile, including the transmission hump and pedal areas. They won't interfere with clutch, brake, or accelerator pedal travel. The driver's side mat features a reinforced heel pad that's slightly thicker (1/2") but is recessed to prevent pedal interference. If your seat sits particularly low or you've modified your pedal assembly, our customer service team can provide exact measurements for clearance verification.

Can I get floor mats in colors other than black to match my interior?

Black is our standard and most popular color due to its practicality in hiding wear and stains. We do offer gray rubber mats as a special order item with a 2-3 week lead time. For carpet mats, we stock black, gray, and dark blue options. Custom color matching is available for fleet orders of 10 or more sets, though minimum order requirements apply. Keep in mind that lighter colors will show dirt and wear more readily in a commercial truck environment. Most drivers stick with black for its forgiving nature and professional appearance.
