I've seen flawless mats in 75K mile trucks. ?

Thanks for the positive comments Bruce !? Actually , I feel it has quite a bit of its original paint left on the engine. This truck is from Auburn NY, not perfect dry Arizona or western states. I have NOS valve covers in boxes that the paint is peeling. As for the mat, you cant even move it without it breaking .Like to know why they dry out? I have a near perfect suburban rear mat doing the same thing , Im afraid to remove it. The truck is what it is , they cant all be "perfect".

1959 was the last year for the glass jar washer, 1960-1962 used this style in passenger cars and trucks. I think classicGMC had an NOS one in the for sale section. Then they switched to the more common washer bottle around 63-64.
