 |
|
| Where can I find a supplier that carries the walk through rubber mat for a 67 bus and also the rubber that wraps the lower inside and the lower back of the seat stands? Any suggestions? |

i think home depot or lowes has the lower rubber around the bottom of the seats, but the walkthrough mat you will have to find used. they come up time to time in the classifides

For the floor mat you can use a late model walkthru rubber mat. It is the same style as the front and rear mat. At least while you are looking for the correct one.

| I put a rubber mat in my 1963 walk-thru that I got out of a bay window bus at an autowrecker. All I had to do was trim the sides, as it was too wide. |

I looked at Home Depot the other day and couldn't find the right stuff. Unless I was looking in the wrong part of the store. I did find rubber matting on a roll but it was the wrong profile. This was in the carpet area.

| What is the year breakdown for early/late? The '60 and '61 wallkthru mats that I have look just like the one in my '65... I'm pretty sure all three are original to their respective buses. |

I haven't seen it at Home Depot.
They have a big roll of it at my local Ace Hardware.
This is the material to wrap around the bottom of the walk-through section. The center mat is not available but you could use the same material for a while. |
I'll check my local Ace since your local one is a bit far for me to drive.  Thank you for the lead.
My bottom mat is in great shape so no issues there, fortunately.

the '58 mat is a touch different on one of the ends. you can cut down a '59-'67 and make it fit perfectly. the difference is really minute.

I thought that might be a possibility.
