|
|
I have a very late '67 deluxe Bus with a 2/3 middle seat and I'm after rubber cargo floor mat. I have seen an OG early bay mat that looks like it would suit the seats but does anyone know for certain whether it would fit?
The WW mat states its fits '50-'79 so wondering if that's the same for the OG mats? |

There will be subtle differences along the back edge where the cutouts for the heat vents are, also the edge along the cargo doors may not sit down flat as bays have a different shape on the threshold, you may be able to shim underneath with dense foam if it bugs you.
Dimensionally they are very close. _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.
Please don't PM technical questions, ask your problem in public so everyone can play along. If you think it's too stupid post it here

| the biggest difference is probably price! Off the top of my head I would say bay's have seat belt cutouts whereas splits (esp early split buses) likely don't. In terms of function I see no reason a early bay would not work and fit- there are probably a few minor differences but 95% of people would probably not even notice |
