Carpet

Post by jeepgod »

I have the rubber floor mat in my truck and after taking it out to access the trans hump it is in very bad shape and not resuable . I am looking for ideas as to what I can put down in its place. Money is very tight and I am unable to just buy a new one.

Ahh. thats one of the deals about the bumpsides. No one makes the molded floormats.
You take up yours to take a look at the rust, and your floormat is history. Sorry. :(

The good is that I have very little rust and it is just surface rust at that. The truck was in California must of it's life

the floors in the 73-79 trucks are the same as our trucks. so those new floor mats should fit our trucks. if you have the high transmission hump. you have to watch what you buy.

also a few weeks back i used some carpet out of a 88 F150. i had to cut the center hump out because it was too large but i used my hump cover to hold down the edges of the carpet where i cut it off at. it was mainly to patch the rust holes in my floor with carpet instead of metal. is why i did it.
