I'm restoring a 55 1st series with NAPCO 4WD. That's not the point though...I've been working on these trucks for about 15 years, and prior to this one, worked on trucks with three speed trannies. Now,I'm workin on the old beast, which has a 4 on the floor. My problem is that no on seems to reproduce a floor mat that's anything close to original in appearance, or function! None of the mats i've see account for the transmission hump! They seems to be selling a 3 spd/Hydramatic mat as a universal fit. They don't fit the same way at all!
The ribbing pattern is completely wriong as well...the heel area ribs are perpendicular to the ribs surrounding them...Has anyone found a source for an accurate 4 speed mat? I'm shocked and a little disappointed in all the reproducers out there that this wasn't addressed years ago. I swear, if I could get my hands on an NOS or good used mat, I'd start doing the repro myself! Hope you guys can help!! Thanks :confused:
