Okay, here it is. Most definately wet, somewhat curled, a bit brittle, but all there.
The po took the tank out and had some late 70's delta 88 seats in it. I gutted them out and found this in there, been in the yard since. I'd give it to you, but postage would be more than it's worth ![]() |

I would go with carpet if it is going to show. LMC shows a molded carpet, so that means some one else can get it for 1/2 the price.
If you are going with stock style buckets, then it would have gotten carpet over the tank with the bucket option. (as in if you were going for a correct restoration) |

I had my 69 SWB done in carpet. I had the bucket seats reupholstered at a shop that does a lot of hot rods and show cars and they asked if I wanted the gas tank covered in carpet before they put the seats back in. (they said no extra charge so how could I turn that down) I picked out black color. It was a very nice job and looked sweet. In my opinion I liked the carpet look better than the cardboard cover but it boils down to what you like the best. Sorry no pics.
