Line-X in new Ford Transit

[Bill P]

Hello all! I recently purchased a new Ford Transit van. I am taking it to the Line-X dealer tomorrow to get the floors bed lined. I want them to apply the Line-X coating from the back to the front, including the footwells. Also, they would apply the coating going 1/4 up the walls. The Line-X dealer is suggesting instead of applying the coating in the footwells, they could put a small berm behind the seats and put Line-X over the berm. The berm would not allow water to run into the cockpit area if there was a leak. They said this would enable me to keep the factory floor matting up front (which is contoured and covers some wiring) I prefer taking the front mats out and replacing it with the coating. What do you think? Thanks in advance.

From my limited experience, I agree with the LineX dealer. Leave the front matting in place.

I'd do the whole floor, put the berm on and then reinstall the factory carpet. If your gonna do it then do it all. I did what your dealer is telling you and still got water up front . At least it will be protected.

I did that in my vehicle and it works great. A little unsightly the way I did it but keeps the water out.

We've done the berm.

We screwed down a 2x4 and coated over it and its worked great for years now.

We are getting ours put together as well. Tomorrow we install walls and Etrack. Wednesday it gets lettered and hopefully the following week we get shelving installed.

I'd like to get it out and in use. Right now she just sits looking pretty.

The rear should look something like this.

Great looking truck. I love that Ford blue color.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Thanks. It does look nice.

 

[Kevin De Medeiros]

What unit are you planning to put in that beast?

 

[Desk Jockey]

No machine. This truck is for monitoring water damage jobs.

I have a Spartan box truck on order that we are getting an Everest 650 to install in it.

Can you put a wall to help with noise and a cooler cab area?

Thank you all for your feedback! I went with Line-X coating up to the cockpit area. They ended up installing a small bulkhead behind the seats so water cannot run to the front footwell area in the event there is a water leak. I am also going to install a permanent cab wall and seal it to the bulkhead for further protection and security.
