WTB Leveling mats in real good shape
 
As the thread title says I need some leveling mats.

Also looking for the chrome rear CST panel strips that go on the top of the rear panels

Parchment 1972 CST door panels with the stainless trim

Tailgate to side bed strips and rubber seals

Thanks
Mark

I have a leftover set of leveling mats from my 1971 Jimmy project. They have repaired cracks but are otherwise sound. I will pull them out of storage today, get them cleaned up and will send you some pictures. I have other leftover parts from that project also if you need anything that you didn't mention. Please PM me your email or phone #.

Yes, could you post a picture of the nicest set laid out showing cracks? Can't really tell from the pictures.

At your convenience, they won't be needed for months. I just want to get some while I can.

Thanks

Mark, I must have sold the good ones. I could only come up with 3 sets and I'm keeping the best for my k5 and the other 2 are not what you want.one set was cut out on the corners do to a role bar and the other set is dried out both have splits and tears. But these are hard to find in good condition.

These are probably not repops for two reason.
The lower volume of the Blazers/Jimmys.
Plus even though they are rubber and not steel part, the two parts are large rubber parts and also complex because of the peaks and valleys. This means higher tooling costs.
With the low volumes and higher tooling costs there is not return on investment to justify making new tooling.

We bought a bed rug mat for newer truck. They have the valleys for a pickup underneath. Wonder if it would match up to a blazer. Just a thought. If would have to be cut to fit and ruin it for use in anything else. But maybe look and measure the underside first. Or maybe find a friend that has one and look at underside of it and see if it will work first.?? Just a thought. I know beds are different now but maybe.??

Sounds interesting, I don't think I have seen a bed matt/rug with ridges. Do you have a link to one?

painterljp 05-31-2020 01:28 PM

Re: WTB Leveling mats in real good shape
 
Dont know how to send a link but look up bedbugs on Google look at the underside of the mat. Dont know if you can just buy underside of one. When my son gets home I can take a picture of underside of his.

painerljp,
Looked at the bedbugs site.
Looks like a very viable alternative to the unobtanium oem rubber leveling mats.
Great find!!! Thanks for sharing with the forum.
They don't have size to fit out 67-72 blazers/jimmys.
so it looks like you buy a larger mat size and cut to our bed size.
Terry

Check it out a little better you can call them during week. They have great customer service. May send you a sample?

This one is for van floor couldnt get the image of a truck one to load.. I imagine you could get one close to ribs needed you could somehow grind down areas to match your particular rib pattern on bottom side. Good luck in hunting. Let know what you all find out.

Im assuming this would be the option? Closest to the years of these and universal cut to length?

painterljp 06-02-2020 04:46 PM

Re: WTB Leveling mats in real good shape
 
The universal ones are NOT ribbed on bottom I dont think
I sent to the factory for samples. Will post pics once I receive them. Call the factory who makes them.

You sent a set of mats to them? Or they are sending you a sample?
