    Does anyone have a source for station wagon load floor covering material? My 1962 F-85 wagon has a vinyl or linoleum covering on the load floor that is white with amoeba-shaped designs on it. I've been unable to find anything close. Household vinyl flooring is only available in faux wood, faux stone, or faux tile. Automotive repro houses have covering for Nomads, but no other cars that I can find. Any potential sources I can check?

    I don't but I'm pretty sure (99%) that the floor covering is linoleum. It seems to me that there was something on the internet but I don't remember the source. As to matching those amoebas I'd bet that would be very difficult.

    While screwing off at work today I'll take a look around.

    Here's another that makes vinyl automotive flooring. Maybe they sell by the yard too?

    Thanks for the links, but that is not what I'm looking for. The load floor cover is basically linoleum, as you would find on your kitchen floor. It is much thicker and more rigid than the vinyl trunk mats.

    I wonder if older trailers used this material?

    Hilarioous that no one has told you that is not the stuff that was in the car.

    Wow.
    If you are still subscribed here,. I can help. PM me. Reference thie thread by cutting and pasting the link (sio I know which thread it's about.).

    And no, I don't mean rubber matting from Lowe's or carpet with logos on it. Or "I don't know, but try this house flooring company" input.

    Hilarious that I never looked at a GM wagon either that didn't have carpet. Joe wanted that material replaced, or I would have posted the source for the ribbed vinyl flooring used back in the fifties and sixties. Good thing you know where to get some.
