List,
I have a strong recommendation against re-installing the rubber floor mat in your M1009s. I say "re-install"
because the truck most likely had one when it was new. These mats are commonly removed...and for good reason. They retain water in the cab which causes the floor to rust through. Unless your truck is not going to get wet...ever...and most CUCVs leak a bit...I would recommend that you avoid installing the rubber floor mat. I had an M1009 with a rubber floor mat in it when I purchased it. When I removed it, I found four holes in the cab floor, the largest of which you could drop a tennis ball through.
