Floor Mat options?

[Toro]

I've searched here, and I keep coming across two options for front floor coverings. One is a full vinyl front mat from Stock Interiors, and the other is the OE style rubber floor mat that's sold at few places (Classic Parts, LMC, others). The OE style looks correct, and has the strips going back along the sill plate to rear edge, but it does not have full coverage under the seats. The vinyl mat has full coverage, but doesn't have the OE "look" or texture. If anyone has installed either of these, what are your thoughts?

Anyone have any other suggestions as far as mats go? I'm not really wanting to go with carpet.

got mine from here---> https://lloydmats.com/

Very happy with the quality. I got the carpet style but they also carry weatherproof ones. They are custom fit for the Blazers.

Thanks, but I was referring to entire floor covering mats. I'll update original post.

I don't believe blazers had full length to bulkhead, I have a used OE one rolled up but nearly positive it's like the pickup style with the tails.
There are threads on the quality of the repros and I think brother's had the closest to original

Do you have any pictures of your mats? curious what they look like. I'd personally love a mat for behind the rear seat.

I posted this question years ago with no response I have been looking since June 2013 when I brought my K5 home. New old stock if you can find it?

Mine is still there just cracked in a few places. It goes to the step up to the rear passenger area. The second pic is the rear mat which is also cracked in places. But it has the oe # still visible. I've bought a carpet kit but I am hesitant to install it.

I'll find out on my k5, has front and rear vinyl/rubber floor, but previous owner glued carpeting on top of that, pure mess, I even think he used construction adhesive (dummy).. hopefully this winter I will dig into it. Yours looks nice!!!

I'm going back to original, carpet is for cars hahaha

Thanks, looks better from the passenger side. It has some cracks around the throttle peddle area.

That's what is holding me back and I live on a dirt road.

I bought the full vinyl mat years ago for my '67 step side but never installed it because I didn't like the texture. So now I still have that in a box also.

I definitely like the look of the rubber OE vs. the vinyl options I’ve seen. I guess the question now is, who’s selling the closest match to the original? And if there is some other material that could be used to fill in the void under the seats.

This looks to be the closest. https://www.lmctruck.com/1967-72-che...ber-floor-mats #38-2844

Here's the other I've found in addition to LMC you posted.

Classic Parts:

Brother's used to have a similar mat, but it's no longer listed.

And on your factory setup, how far up the footwells does the mat go? I've seen other pictures where if looks like there is a black insulation type material that continues up after the mat stops. Does that sound familiar? Just wondering if I get the mat, what else needs to be underneath it. I think there was some sort of material under the mat from the factory.

Thanks so much for the help.

I saw the one listed at Classic Parts but the picture isn't clear as to the texture. I will have to check tomorrow on the mat in my K5 . I'll get back to you on that.
