Reproduction Rubber Floor Mat

[TxCajun]

I purchased a floor mat from Truck and Car Shop, 739 North Batavia, Orange, CA, 92868 in January 2020. http://www.truckandcarshop.com The mat arrived by UPS from California to Texas in about five business days.

The mat is manufactured by CarPart, part number 64-35100, description "64-66 Rubber Floor Mats Small transmission 3 speed/automatic low hump" (see picture of box label). The mat has cutouts for the speedometer cable, the handbrake cable, the dimmer switch, and the floor locating studs. However it does not have cutouts for the clutch actuating rod, which makes sense since it is also applicable for automatic transmissions. It also does not have cutouts for the floor mount gas pedal which is good because I plan to convert the gas pedal to a later style that does not mount to the floor.

My truck is a six cylinder, 3 speed manual with the shifter on the column and low hump transmission tunnel. I'll need to add the clutch rod cutout, and I will also use the cutouts in the mat to locate the replacement floor studs that were either missing or were cut out while repairing floor rust.

The mat has the smell of new rubber but it is not a strong odor in my workshop (but I don't have doors and glass in the truck yet).

The pictures show the mat straight out of the box, so it may relax a bit after it sits on the truck floor for awhile. I've also seen comments that the mats are designed to fit over a 1/8" to 1/4" jute padding which I don't have, although I do plan to install some sound deadener matting after painting.
