Reproduction Rubber Floor Mat

[MitchFloyd]

I need one as well & would pay a couple hundred for an original looking rubber mat. Maybe more since it's my only available option.

Well, I could be mistaken. The mat pictured in my previous post is the one that was in my 62 C20 when I got it, and as far as I can tell that truck was completely original and unmolested. It even has near perfect factory seat upholstery, so I know the interior was well taken care of. I guess it could have been swapped out, but that would surprise me.
For more reference, I will include a picture of the mat in my 66 C20, also a low hump. The texture is very similar (if not the same), but you can see a slight difference in the pattern.

i had an nos mat that had 60-62 on the box and i had the other pattern on it, and when i got it off ebay it was stated as 60-63.

Ok, to further confuse the issue of mat identification, here's a pic of the mat in my '65 Suburban, a 46K mile survivor.

I guess we'll have to allow more members to post before either of us can be positive.

[MitchFloyd]

Ok. Here's my Original 1962 Chevy K10 high hump floor mat.


Looks just like OEM4ME.

[LostMy65]

Looks like we have a larger variety of mats available for the older years that we were unaware of.
Here's another thread showing even a third pattern;

And what's interesting about his mats is they actually have the dates stamped on them.

[oem4me]

My sense that those are not OE mats is reinforced by the fact that the boxes they came in are not GM boxes, but clearly aftermarket. Agreed?

[LostMy65]

That's a valid point.
Probably just odd aftermarket patterns.

We'll eventually get to the bottom of this.
Pimpston, that box/mat you had was no doubt vintage, but may have been aftermarket. Most, if not all GM issued parts or accessories had GM/Chevrolet logos and both group and part numbers listed on the box.
Below is an example of a period mat in an original GM box (not a truck, but impala or something).

i hear ya, but still it was shipped 1965 maybe they used authorized/licensed distributor? being so close to the production years?

[grlshf]

Ditto - my 1965 GMC has the identical color & pattern as the 62 & 65 pictured above. I desperately need a replacement. Just spent $175 for black vinyl Matt from ACC as an interim but I'm still holding out hope that someday, someone will offer a correct, high hump reproduction.

looks to be reshaped by someone

[MitchFloyd]

Tranny is a SM420.
I checked the shifter and it has the bowtie emblem at the bottom. Yall think it's been re-shaped? I'll have to do some searching for the correct pattern. When I pulled it, it didn't show any signs of heating, or stress cracks. But...

[mattbert56]

All I know is my sm420 shifter is one bend she of Yours. Granted I have to later model casting so the housing by my reverse gear is Finned. Vs. Yours that's smooth. So I don't know if early model sm420s had a different shifter Than late model ones. but I couldn't imagine they'd differ. It'd be a waste of time. Unless there was seat clearance issues. that shifter does look like the one on a sm465 that I have. Don't think there interchangeable...

[MitchFloyd]

Well I guess, I finally found an un-original piece! lol The old man sure didn't change much, that's for sure!

[j.kirn]

I have three k models with sm420s and all have straight transmission levers and a 68 with a sm465 with same shifter lever

[MitchFloyd]

Yall are right. It just never occured to me. I know its a SM420 , reverse is far left and back.
So, I guess it has a SM465, shift lever...Now I gotta find an orig...

[mattbert56]

Shouldn't be to hard to find there fairly common in junk Yards.

[60-66]

Ive had at least two of those shift levers bent like that to clear underdash AIR Conditioning units
