I ask so I might get a better understanding on how the retainer holds down the edge of the carpet. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,072 Authorized Pest | | Authorized Pest Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,072 | Someone may have answer to JC's stuff.

The lower cab windlace retainer only retains the windlace. You appear to have a 1955 1st Series 3/4 ton truck (3604). The cab floor covering was not retained. You need to be able to access the master brake cylinder on the drivers side and the battery on the passenger side. See the floor mat FL-102 on Jim Carters website. PM me if you have specific questions.

I don't recall when the change was made), can be used to hold down the carpet or rubber mat without having to remove any screws since those retainers screw into the side of the rocker panel instead of the top like yours do. Once you screw the later model retainers in place, you can pry up on the inboard edge with a pry bar to give you enough clearance to tuck the mat or carpet under it. They were not designed for tucking the mat under them, but it can be done if you want to.
