'72 C-10 Rubber Floor Mat?
 
I'm looking to buy a new original type step-sill-plate to step-sill-plate Rubber Floor Mat for my '72 C-10.

My question is, are there different levels of Quality out there?

Or is a Floor Mat a Floor Mat no matter where you get it from?

My original is about 44 years old now and it's time to change it, lol.

Thanks

Seem to be all about the same quality brothers LMC and so on. $150 for the mat.

I forgot where I got my replacement from, but it was slightly off where the high beam foot switch hole is.

It fits well-enough but I'll try and buy something different next time. I saved the box, I can look on there to see where it came from.

Mine came from Brothers a couple years ago and I was very happy with it -- at first. Pulled my seat out a few months ago to install 3-point belts, and discovered the mat is starting to come apart already. Very disappointing, as the OEM mat lasted a lot of years. I have no idea what the problem is but I suspect they are being made overseas with substandard materials.

Appreciate the replies.

Would everyone agree that they are all about the same quality ?

Also, is there any Brand Name stamped or listed on them ?

I was able to get some used off the board for my K5, still soft and pliable, should clean up nicely, haven't installed them yet, maybe this winters project.
I went this way after reading all the negative comments on repros falling apart after a few years

I got mine from stock interiors and it is thick.
It's been in my '72 custom camper that I use for hauling.
Two years and counting , with no sign of wear yet.

I got one from LMC and it was brittle and cracking after only 3 or 4 years. Don't go there.

I don't like to criticized our supporting venders but the one I got from Brothers started to desinagrate almost from the moment I installed it, also the high beam switch hole was way out of position, they did send a new one but it was junk in a year or so.....:metal:

^^ Interesting -- the one I got from Brothers (post #5) was a perfect fit. Different suppliers maybe? Sure wish it was holding up better, though.

Back when I did my K10 almost 7 years ago I got mine from LMC still looks good and fit good

I got my mat from LMC. It fit perfect. It has only been in my truck for a year but it still looks perfect...

Just for the heck of it, I tried Rock Auto and they don't carry them.

I checked online and called.
