Did these buses come with carpet or rubber mats? About ready for assembly trying to figure out which to go with.
All interior panels will get dynomat followed by jute padding on top covered by panel.
Dynomat floor boards that are newly restored? Not an easily reversible upgrade so wondering what it will do to the value if I ever sold it. Thoughts? |

Do it right, carpet the dash and the floors.

They came with rubber mats on the floors. Matting the walls behind the interior panels is much less invasive than matting the floors.
Personally, I think carpets in a bus don't look right. |

| Did any pre-'68 bus ever come with carpet: even campers? Maybe the luggage area? |

Deluxes have carpet on the rear deck.
Westy SO33s have carpet in the cargo area for the camping kit. |
What color carpet would my '67 SeaBlue have had?

Ok, so carpet in the back. Seating area's with rubber mats. Carpet was not an option from factory here?
Dynomat floors or not? |

I wouldn't put it on the floors. The rubber mats are thick and do dramatically cut down the sound. I would put dynamat on the luggage shelf under the panel that goes there to cut down engine noise. |

Deluxes get carpet. All others get panel board.

Yes, sorry under the carpet. Also I'd put it behind the back seat on the fire wall and wheel wells. |
