Rock auto: https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/...,floor+mat,741

Stock Interiors: https://www.stockinteriors.com/floor...828&ModelId=88

Both are made by Auto Custom Carpets (ACC). Rock Auto is priced less.

You can order color samples from Stock Interiors before ordering. https://www.stockinteriors.com/reque...27&ItemId=1828
I modified mine slightly to better accommodate the bottom of the accelerator pedal on my '69.

This is interesting, thanks. How did you do that? And do you have pictures of what you did?

I cut the binding stitching where the mat contacts the pedal then cut a small portion of the mat away being sure the distance along the edge would be the same as manufactured so the binding wouldn't need to be cut. I then reattached the binding.

The pic probably says this better than my choice of words. I removed the portion above the red line. EDIT: Added yellow line to highlight the mat edge.

What is it like to reattach the binding? Do you just sew the carpet together with thread and needle from underneath?

I used the original holes in the binding and hand sewed from side to side leaving a zig-zag effect. Then go the other direction filling in the blanks so it looks like it was machine sewn. Simple, but it is hard to explain. I don't have the truck here, but I think I used upholstery thread and a heavy duty needle.

Re: Where to get carpet floor mats

I bought mine from Lloyds floor mats. I've been running them for years in my corvettes and are great quality. I had to have them for my 70 C10.

Re: Where to get carpet floor mats

I second that on Lloyd’s Mats. Granted mine was for my 86, but you can custom order from them. Here’s mine.
