I just finished painting the floor pans in my 51 GMC 350-24


It’s got a 4 speed and floor and floor handbrake, plus battery box under the floor. Does anyone make a floor mat/carpet situation that will work for this? Or do I have to custom make it? I just had a ragged scrap of rubber on the floor when I bought it, so I’m not sure what it looked like stock. I’d prefer something rubber based as this is still kinda a farm truck even if it’s mostly parades and parties.

Most vendors carry rubber floor mats that match or are close to the original. The holes sill need to be cut out, but they are marked on the back. Although they are close, if your a perfectionist like me, make a paper template first then transfer the holes.

They also sell the felt sound/heat mats that go under it.
Here is a link for the mat from Classic Parts.

Does that rubber one fit with the original seat riser and just need cut around it? It looked like maybe that was meant to go over a carpet as a protector. Looks ideal if it works with the seat riser.

Yes. The original rubber floor mat ends at the seat riser/base. There is no floor covering under the seat or behind the seat.
