 |
|
Now that the Oregon rain has let up for a bit, I went out "junkyarding" today. Scored a fairly decent OG front mat from a '72 .. which does me no good whatsoever because my Bus is a '75. But it was in such good condition (and at such a good price) that I couldn't leave it there to "die".
Anyone in the Portland area need it? No tears, no worn-through holes, no cracks. It should fit '68-72. And if you've got a decent used front mat from a '73-79 kicking around maybe we could trade. :lol; |

Who won't it work in your '75? I can't think of any differences off the top of my head with the floor that would make it not work.

Oh good, you've got various years in your fleet. Look down at the area near the bottom of the door. See how the '73-up has the step there and the '72-down doesn't 'cuz the step is on the bumper?
Yeah, I could cut it to make it work .. but I don't wanna. |

I'll take pics tomorrow, it's gotten dark-ish outside and I have to run to pick up my better half from work. |

Hang on to that mat, the 68-72 mat is NLA but the 73-up mats are still being produced, you can get them at most of the usual suppliers.
The early mats are the desirable ones, good ones without rips or cracks are getting very hard to find. |
