It’s the original seat mat Tim. It was in amazingly good condition, not coming apart at all. The cover was torn under the driver’s derriere and the cotton was matted down but the matt was almost perfect. This was the only seat that I’ve see so far that wasn’t a home for the mice. It was kept in the fire barn from when they bought it in 1950. I’ve looked a bunch and haven’t been able to find a modern day source. UNTILL NOW!!!! That link i.e.,
http://www.perfectproductsonline.com/rubberizedhair.html that you found Tim is exactly what was used. I’m really surprised that they still make it. The original one had the wrapper sewn onto the seat cushion. The kits from the vendors is not supplied with this material. I've ordered some so I can compaire it to the original stuff. Looks like it's blue instead of the natural color of the original stuff.
I’ve not installed the dual pump on my truck, will do that after the short block rebuild. But I did install one on my buddy’s truck last fall and I’ve got a few poor pictures I took with my cell phone. I’ll see if I can get them posted. Well, not till tomorrow, can’t get them off my phone to my computer, I did text them to my daughter who can’t donload them to here comp……………….oh forget it, I’ll get them posted tomorrow.
