I restored my 67 GMC and got the carpet at LMC truck. I got the black carpet to match with fawn interior and fitted nicely into the cabin. I think the green they sell should be fine for your truck, but no idea if itīs the correct original tone. Here is the link to the catalog:

I'm not sure what the original green would have been, but here's a link to the colors of the original 80/20 loop carpet available through Stock Interiors which sells ACC carpet in many versions for our trucks. You can request free samples from them. They also have samples of the other piles and loop versions. My guess is that you'd want a close match to the door panels and dash pad.

2X for stockinteriors.com! I've used them many times for ACC carpets. I believe the correct color carpet for a 67' with Fawn interior is Saddle. Truck should have Saddle seat belts too.

stockinteriors.com send the samples right out they have the exact green i was looking for i think the green on the far right maches the dash and seat very well

What color are the seatbelts?

Re: 1968 carpet color
 
The seatbelts are the seafoam green like the truck so are the sunvisors and it had dark green door panels Dash pad seat I'm guessing that the carpet was dark green
