If I did this twice please delete.

the Trans tunnel on my truck had to be raised. Being that the stock replacement rubber floor mat will no longer fit does anyone know where I might get some material I can mold with a heat gun to give that somewhat stock appearance?

If you are near a real farm and tack store they have different types of mats for trailers that might work. I used to get some of the ribbed type when using the truck for camping and hunting, but my cab has a flat floor. I also got some heavy density horse trailer mat to use for body and similar mounts.

look at a 60/66 and a 67/72 or two and see if the factory hump is similar your fabricated hump. That might let you get the shape you need in the molded mat to fit good and then you could trim the edges.

I was also thinking a flat floor runner about 4 ft wide that you can probably have a supplier cut the right number of feet off the roll but you would have to contend with working around the hump. http://www.americanfloormats.com/cor...r-runner-mats/
