Recommended floor cover?
Shooting for mostly an original restore on a 71, with a tendency to skip shortcuts. The truck had a rubber mat, but it doesn't have to be that way. I don't know, rubber might be better for a driver as opposed garage queen.
![]() Any good quality mats resembling the original, or better? Carpet, other?

I used the thick and heavy vinyl floor in my 72 ,it cleans up easy and looks great ,a little hard to get to lay down to start with but I like it .It has been in my truck for several years and still looks new .

Re: Recommended floor cover?
strangely, a po retrofitted a rubber mat in my 72 Cheyenne super. Had one in my stock 66 also. Personally, I'd go with the color-matching carpet even on a Custom Deluxe if I were re-doing it. Rubber is practical, but I like the look of carpet in the cab. Just me though, everyone is different. Sounds like you're struggling with absolutely stock vs. carpet, is that the case? Any other things on your truck that aren't stock? What color is your interior trim (seat and door panels, etc) and what will be the final color of your truck?

Re: Recommended floor cover?
Since you said ... "mostly original" - I would go with a carpet.
