Vinyl floor best place to buy?

Like the title says im looking for new vinyl flooring in the front and "cargo area" of my 71. Looking for an original style with the correct grooves or texture that would come from the factory. Where would you guys recommend? If you have pics that would be awesome too. Thanks, chris


Also heres a pic with the top off for the first time for you guys

I don't believe that factory correct rear mats (someone correct me if I am wrong) are made for the Blazer and the leveling mats are not available as repops.

Re: Vinyl floor best place to buy?

Not a perfect factory match, but this is the one I plan to try.

LMC also has them, but it also is not a exact factory reproduction.

Note to derail this thread. But I have one of the LMC black vinyl front mats in my storage. Used it for a few years in my Blazer before going to carpet. I would let it go for cheap. PM me if interested.

Re: Vinyl floor best place to buy?

I purchased the vinyl mat as shown in the Stockinteriors.com link above. The bed was a snap to lay down (there will be a little trimming necessary). You will need a heat gun for the cab area to help stretch it out. You may want to put some padding underneath as its not very thick. I also decided to put an original style rubber pad in the cab.

Thanks for the tips, guess I'll have to buy a heat gun. Do you have a high hump. What kinda padding would work

I have a high hump.

For padding, I used some of the Dynamat products: Dynamat and Dynaliner, $$$$. There are other products out there for less.

Re: Vinyl floor best place to buy?

So I'm looking at the vinyl flooring suggested from Stock interiors. They have a CST and non-CST versions which are $2 difference in price. Anyone know what the difference is. I liked the page.
