Pic request: factory bench seat carpet (still installed)
Gents, have a quick request for a pic of a factory 71-72 carpet that is still installed/intact (don't care about condition). Ideally with the seat removed, if by chance you happened to snap a pic before the carpet came out (but pls don't remove your seat for me

Re: Pic request: factory bench seat carpet (still installed)
still hoping someone might have a pic of an original carpet that is still installed. It's ok of the seat is still installed, just trying to get a rough idea of the rear corner trimming and rear edge limits, etc. Thanks

Re: Pic request: factory bench seat carpet (still installed)
Well mine is from a 67. It's not in the truck but I have a pic of it on the deck. Mine goes to the inside edge of the hump where the seat front bolts to the floor. If nobody else posts a picture in the next day or 2 I can go lay it in there for you.

Re: Pic request: factory bench seat carpet (still installed)
Thanks Chewy, believe it or not, I’ve got a pic of a 67 or 68, and for some reason in the back of my mind, I was thinkin that by the time they got to 72 that maybe the carpet went a little further back. There was so little carpet left in my 72, just remnants, I couldn’t tell where the edges were and could swear I read a thread on here somewhere earlier where I thought someone mentioned the 67-68 (maybe a little later) were different from the 71-72 (and maybe a little earlier). Just not sure. Really appreciate you posting the pic.

That could very well be. After all everything in 67 was completely different by 72.

Here's a not-so-great photo I have of the rear corner of the original carpet in a '72 I used to own.

Thanks pj, looks very similar to the 67, so maybe they didn’t change across the years(?)

I seem to recall discussing this here at least 8 to 10 years ago and concluded that the carpet did not continue under the seat to at least 71-72. That said here is a picture of the original carpet from my early '69 with buckets. Note that they trimmed the binding before installing the door sill plate.

Re: Pic request: factory bench seat carpet (still installed)
Does the floor under the seat have an insulation pad ? My 67 did not because the jack is on the floor under the passenger side

Jim, Kootenay, those are perfect, thank you very, very much - that's what I needed.
Chewy, my 72 only had sound deadener under the seat (the mice apparently didn't like the taste as much as my carpet). |

Re: Pic request: factory bench seat carpet (still installed)
Is that undisturbed? It's been a long time since I took my 67 apart. Does the foam insulation go under the ashphalt?

Re: Pic request: factory bench seat carpet (still installed)
Cool. Thanks for those pics. I just remembered peeling that tar paper sheet off the floor of my 67 ( in 2008 ) and that's why I thought it went down 1st but it appears I am incorrect.
