Difference between having carpet and not. 1961

Here is a picture from clist OKC, 1961 F600 ford truck. This is a copy of picture #3. Wow, this is what our trucks floors could look like if they had not had carpet trapping moisture for 50 plus years.

That is true but don't forget that the rubber floor mat also used was just as bad if not worse. The rubber trunk mats used in Mopars back in the days were a disaster for their trunks.

Now you tell me! Now I have to rip out all my carpeting.
<table border="0" cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="0"><tbody><tr><td bgColor="#dfdfdf" colSpan="2"></td></tr><tr><td bgColor="#ffffff" colSpan="2" align="center"></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="0"><tbody><tr><td bgColor="#dfdfdf" colSpan="2"></td></tr><tr><td bgColor="#ffffff" colSpan="2" align="center"></td></tr></tbody></table>

I say just the opposite and thank my grandma for putting carpet in when the rubber went to pot 30 years ago.

Yep. Send it to me for disposal, I will pay shipping. You may as well throw in the nice chrome, it will just snag your toe as you get out.

These bucket seats were removed from a 1965 Ranger. At the time I picked these up I also picked up the center console.
I had the seats done to represent the yblock. My 64 has a yblock and it's the last year for these trucks that the yblock was offered. At least for the f100
So here it is.
<table border="0" cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="0"><tbody><tr><td bgColor="#dfdfdf" colSpan="2">: </td></tr><tr><td bgColor="#ffffff" colSpan="2" align="center"></td></tr></tbody></table>

I would, but then you'd blame me for the floor rusting out. I better just keep them. I'll deal with the rust in about 40 years from now, or sooner.

I see the steering column came from the Series 4691 Shuttle Craft assigned to the Star Ship Enterprise. Congrats on the coup at the auction. Toooo coool. I bet you have plenty of belly room.
