Cement Floor

[Banksx2]

Back in the old days (80's - well before the Intranut) I got a hwy diff from a guy who'd run in to a cement truck, literally. Driver's side front quarter panel trashed from about 3 feet (sorry - one meter or 100 centimeters for you younger Bedheads) high and his  front crossmember, um, bent.  He was selling bits off because a 78 Beddie wasn't worth the fixin' = threre were lots of 'em around!

PS - He and his passenger got out of the bent beddie scratchless - higher ride height than a sedan meant no people damage.

I asked him what the hell was that he'd applied to the floor in the cargo area of this stripped Beddie and he tells me it's concrete. A one half inch thick layer of concrete. Gets the Center of Gravity down for cornering and shuts out anything resembling road noise from below. Doors, side panels, etc are still your problem but the floor is as noisy as a slab of driveway...

Anyone tried this for themselves? I've always wanted to try an epoxy we use in mining as a crusher backing - Jaquesbond, Megapoxy
 take your pick. It's a pourable epoxy in a $50, 20 kg bucket - add hardener and pour and it sticks like s... to a ------ metal surface or anything else. Probably need to use jacks to level the floor up before pouring? 

And plug holes.

Has anyone tried either of these methods on the floor? It's always made me curious.

Now I have truely heard everything. 

Bet the local transport authorities don't have a rule for that!

think of the weight.

dynomat or similar would be better, and you wouldn't have to dynobolt things you wanted fitted, like cupboards

You wouldn't need resource consent from your local council either!

And the SLOWER it goes..............No Resource consent, don't bet on it, as soon as they find out a new by-law will be past...........

or marry one of those fat women that cant get out of bed and keep her in the back of the beddy? expensive i know but she is more tax deductible then the drop axles.
