I know the quality and fit of floormats has been covered before but take a look at this fit and give me your opinion. Why the big square and rectangular cutouts? These mats have "Made in USA" molded in too.

Hello Jim Carter -- are you reading this stuff?

WOW! Almost looks like it's for a different year truck, and even then I don't think it would fit. No cutouts for the steering column or pedals, but yet huge ones for the shifter and parking brake? Definetly not right. I certainly hope the Jim Carter is watching this. I haven't ever got anything from them, but have never heard much bad about them either. I'd say contact them and find out what the deal is, 'cause that mat just isn't right at all.

Looks like you need some big shifter boots

1-800-872-1913 is the number to inquire as to what's up, on their dime, I'd think they'll refund it ... I think GM originally didn't even use a boot on those trucks

No problem at all with Jim Carter's. I realize that they will refund the cost of the mats, as they have been fantastic during this whole restoration. I'm just wondering "what's up wid dat?"

Seems mighty strange to me that someone would mold these mats and then have a giant punch-out in way of the shifter and hand brake.

Right now I'm having a leather boot made for both cut-outs and will leave the rubber boots in place for sealing purposes. It's a real pain to fit the mat as the steering wheel, pedal pads, brake release lever, etc. all have to be removed to install the mat. No problem going to this effort if the mat didn't have the giant cut-outs.
