Black, the blues might end up being 2 different shades that don't mix between the seat and floor. Order em both and send one back after you decide?

Go for the black. You don't want to feel compleatly under water. The dark blue would probably look black most of the time anyhow.

Blue. If you have gone to the trouble to make the interior blue, make it all blue. Just try to match the shades as best as you can. :D

I would go with the black. The blue carpet would show any stains more. (That is if I am thinking of the right shade of blue.)

After looking at the pictures of your truck, it would still have to be blue. I don't think black would do anything for it. Blue, blue, blue blue. I didn't see any limit to the number of votes. :lol: Beautiful truck, make it blue.

Black is in there right now and it's fine, but.... There was a Hurst ProMatic II shifter in the floor. I scrapped that and made it column shift like stock. Now there's like a 7"x5" hole in my carpet. I may throw a black floor mat over that hole and drive it like that since I'm only 16 and i'm short on funds from the engine overhaul. If I do ever get new, I've decided that I'll go with the darkest blue carpet I can find so it almost looks black, but has a little blue tint to it.

Id vote blue also. Its a pretty slick truck and a dark blue rug would enhance the interior.
