I don’t believe rubber will last as long, be as supple as neoprene in sub zero temps, and it will burn versus self extinguishing. Rubber also constantly leeches black stuff (carbon?) when touching anything, it doesn’t have the flexibility, or non-memory like neoprene. All that being said, you CAN use rubber! My intent is to recreate some of the original pieces made fo these trucks that the aftermarket does not offer in original material, and the choice that is a little better/thicker than the original. dog...
