Look what I found under the floor mat!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Joesjunk** · 04-06-2003, 03:30 PM

Talk about the funny things you find in your truck. I found these under the rubber floor mat in the 1970 1ton. I was looking at the floors, and WOW!! $2400.00 in travlers checks!!! They are all signed. And a book of .22 cent stamps. How do you lose that!! Too bad I can spend them

.

da-burb · 04-06-2003, 03:34 PM

I'll be right back. I have to go check the floor mats!

*racedvl* · 04-06-2003, 03:57 PM

!!!!!

*Gee_Emm* · 04-06-2003, 03:58 PM

Yah like how can you forget about that much money? How do the travellers cheques work? It looks like there are ppl's names on them.

meathead95 · 04-06-2003, 05:21 PM

maybe they where stolen

greasemonkey · 04-06-2003, 05:39 PM

Hmm, I found a book of matches, some bullets, and a stick of gum. I guess the previous owner of my truck was a poor dude.

krue · 04-06-2003, 06:20 PM

All I found was some rust! Oh well, maybe next time!

Huck · 04-06-2003, 06:35 PM

You guys find money and I find condoms--mostly used!!

1968GMC · 04-06-2003, 06:39 PM

I found a hole in my floor

chucks70 · 04-06-2003, 06:39 PM

Ewwwww Huck. I find a lot of rust and wires that go nowhere!!

*Piston* · 04-06-2003, 07:20 PM

wow, wish they would spend!

I found over 35.00 in change when I pulled the carpet up last weekend! that and rust in every corner

*Gee_Emm* · 04-06-2003, 07:32 PM

$35.00 is a big chunk of change, espcially where you don't have $1 and $2 coins.

**CPNE** · 04-06-2003, 07:54 PM

All that money under my mat must have burned holes thru the floorboards!

cochino12 · 04-06-2003, 08:02 PM

All i found was the break in the wire for my dome light. Thanks for the idea of looking under the carpet. lol

*Piston* · 04-06-2003, 08:24 PM

There was enough to fill 3 big handfuls. I guess they just threw the coins in the floor instead of keeping them lol.

Dreaminator · 04-06-2003, 08:38 PM

All I found was rust and an a bunch of golf tees.

teeitup · 04-06-2003, 09:11 PM

Wow Joe! I think they'd miss that. I've found some money but not that much. I did find some left handed cigarettes in a magnetic key box under the dash of a truck one time, but don't do me any good because I don't smoke!

weasel29gm · 04-06-2003, 09:53 PM

A buddy sold a Blazer and had to replace a mirror on it. When he got to the shop he checked under the mat and found $ 7000.00 that he forgot!!! Wish I bought it thats the first place I check. LOL!!!!

Blue Beard · 04-06-2003, 10:28 PM

That could buy some serious parts.........

72 CustomCamper · 04-07-2003, 01:03 AM

I would look under my carpet,but the carpet is gone. When I look under the metal all I see is ground...lol

Chuck

nroden · 04-07-2003, 01:50 AM

When I pulled up the old carpet all I found was newspapers from 71... not sure who put them there or why?

Lippyp · 04-07-2003, 04:24 AM

Newspaper = thrifty mans sound insulation!

*Randy70C-10* · 04-07-2003, 08:35 AM

I found a porno mag behind the seat of a parts truck I had a couple months ago. Someone really used the heck out of it though.

Huck · 04-07-2003, 08:56 AM

Thinking back a couple of generations, recall selling my 55 chev 2dr htop with a .05 bag of Mexican Pete stuck under the carpet where the heater vents in the center. Must have smelled just great with the heater on~~~. It was the good stuff, with the seeds in it that went POP as you puffed. AND this was way before it was popular---ahhh---the memories of youth!!

Tynee · 04-07-2003, 09:03 AM

Wow, the very idea of floor boards that would hold anything without the floormat covering them.
