Need a source for GREEN carpet

My carpet in the blazer is original. It's not in too bad of shape,... but I'd like to replace it.
Is the green replacement carpet the correct color? (or incorrect like the dash pads)
And who should I get buy from?
Also,... here's a couple pics of the rubber mat under the carpet. It follows the contour of the floor and I looks like it's original. I've never seen this before.

Re: Need a source for GREEN carpet

"The Truck Shop" in Crossville TN... I just went to his link, and it's under construction. I will try to get a #. The owner(Jerry Brown) is into correctness, at least as much as possible. He should at least point to right direction...Rubber mat, had them under all my trucks, at least the original one's

Re: Need a source for GREEN carpet

The rubber mat under the carpet is a rare item to find in decent shape...it is installed at the factory and is an OEM piece.

It contours to the bed floor and allows the carpet to rest in there flat instead of having the bed 'ridges'.

The downfall they have - is that they can trap moisture and rust the bed out in certain conditions if not taken care of.
