Re: 1969-1970 Blazer rear carpet trim plates
Reticent to weigh in since I've been out the Blazer game for a good while. But I did spend a fair amount of time thinking about this 10 years ago. I had to reproduce my own carpet strips before they were available as they are now.
Back then my anecdotal opinion was that the flat/flat configuration was the early arrangement. Then when the ribbed strip came along, all configurations seemed fair game (flat/ribbed, ribbed/flat, ribbed/ribbed). I believe I have observed all of these, though when I went through my reference picture bank, I did not have examples that couldn't otherwise have their originality called into question.
I love that you've started this thread. All the better if we can correlate build date and factory to see if there is any discernible break point or pattern.
