Darren, I was going to say Tru fit!, but they start at 66, mine came in 2 pieces, front and under seat, I wonder if the front section would fit! and then buy a flat piece for under the seats. I don't know! you blokes with them old trucks!

Auto Custom Carpets are the best fit and the best quality. You can google them or you can buy them from many of the Slick vendors. Also most trip shops can order it for you.

edited because trip was supposed to be trim.

Knox auto carpets? They're in Vic or NSW.

Are you sticking with the 4sp or have you gone another way?
I'm getting the bits and pieces together for a t5 conversion so I'm interested in how the floor shifter works!

theres a place on ebay, lists from Rubber the Right way. selling truck carpet. I emailed them to ask them where they got it from, China, overseas, or just bought it from ACC. They told me it was from Trim Parts of Lebanon, Ohio

$137 was the price

I found the ticket about a year ago when I bought mine. Everyone knows ACC is the best, but they are costly, so I searched around for the least expensive sellers. Turned out RockAuto.com sells ACC carpets (in nearly all of their variations, including colors and mass backing options) for way less money (I think almost half the price by the time you factored in shipping!). Definitely look into it.

I looked at the site ... I'm no expert in carpet, but it clearly states it's ACC carpets ... cool, that will save me some coin. Have you bought any other parts from RockAuto? It looks like they have a lot of the normal wear & tear items. I was just wondering about the quality of those parts too.

Thanks.

I have bought parts from Rock auto. They are a clearing house/ drop-shipping company, that basically has a library of inventory from many, many parts houses across the USA.

Other than them shipping me 2 left calipers one time (the box was labeled incorrectly, not really their fault) I have had GREAT success with Rock auto.

I bought hard to find Bricklin brake parts from them and they were of the highest quality and a brand name (kelsey-hayes) to boot. I would recommend them.

Don't be surprised if your parts come from all over the country tho. Mine did.

Yeah at first glance RockAuto can seem kinda hokey for an online parts dealer, but I've bought various parts here and there (the carpet being the biggest order) and have never been let down. They do seem to have the lowest prices on a lot of things, and its nice that they give you a selection of the same part and you can choose based on manufacturer, price, etc.

the ebay store i listed only has the 65-66 listed, but if you go to the source.

http://www.trimparts.com/search/index/

click on carpet + floormats, they allow you to select any year. I called Trim Parts and the make all the carpet in house in Ohio. Takes about 3 weeks to make it. They have them for the 61-64 and 65-66. The 65-66 has an option for kick panels and lower door.

Rubber the Right Way has a website also, with a pdf cat.
