Frequently Asked Questions About Mack R Truck Floor Accessories

What year models of Mack R trucks do these floor accessories fit?

Our Mack R truck floor accessories are designed to fit R-Model trucks from 1966 through 2004. This includes all variations such as the R600, R685, R686, R688, RD600, RD688, and RD690. However, we recommend double-checking your specific cab configuration, as some late-model trucks with custom interiors may have slight variations. If you're unsure about fitment, contact us with your VIN and we'll verify compatibility.

Are these floor mats made from rubber or carpet, and which is better for my truck?

We offer both heavy-duty rubber and commercial-grade carpet floor mats. Rubber mats are ideal for work trucks that see mud, water, and heavy debris - they're waterproof and can be hosed off. Our rubber mats are typically 3/8" thick thermoplastic elastomer that won't crack in cold weather. Carpet mats provide better insulation and a more finished look, making them popular for show trucks or highway haulers. The carpet options feature 32-oz face weight with rubber backing to prevent moisture pass-through.

How difficult is it to install floor pans or floor covers in a Mack R truck?

Floor pan installation requires moderate mechanical skills and typically takes 4-6 hours. You'll need to remove seats, shifter boots, and potentially the doghouse cover. Most floor pans require drilling and use self-tapping screws or rivets for installation. Floor covers and mats are much simpler - they're essentially drop-in items that take about 30 minutes to install. We include detailed instructions with measurements and mounting points. Many customers successfully complete the installation themselves, though some prefer professional installation for floor pans.

Will aftermarket floor accessories affect my truck's resale value or void warranties?

Quality floor accessories typically enhance resale value by protecting the original floor from wear, rust, and damage. Our floor pans and covers are designed as direct replacements that maintain factory specifications. For trucks still under warranty, floor mats and covers won't affect coverage. However, if you're modifying the floor structure with replacement pans, document the installation and use OEM-spec materials. Most buyers appreciate well-maintained floors, and our accessories help preserve the cab's condition.

What's the difference between floor pans, floor covers, and floor mats for my Mack R?

Floor pans are complete metal replacements for rusted or damaged original floors - they require cutting out the old floor and welding or riveting in the new pan. Floor covers are heavy-gauge aluminum or steel plates that install over your existing floor to hide damage or wear without major modification. Floor mats are the top layer protection made from rubber or carpet that prevent daily wear and tear. Most drivers use mats for regular protection, covers for hiding existing damage, and pans only when structural repair is needed.
