Interior - Carpet or Rubber?

Did the bumps originally come with carpet floors or rubber?

I want to bring it back to the OEM look. It currently has the tight rubberized floor, but we are replacing the floor pans so we might as well put new flooring in.

It is for a 1972 F100 Ranger 4x4 with the interior code: K - Medium blue vinyl and medium blue body cloth

Thanks guys,
Trever

"K" is indeed a Ranger. Not a XLT. So it came with a rubber mat.

Is this a strict resto? If not, consider the planned use of the truck and choose a rubber liner or carpet accordingly.

JEFFFAFA - I appreciate you clarifying that.

HIO - As always, great advice.

We want to try to keep it as original as possible. We are not going to make it a show truck but we do want very good looking OEM-style truck with high drivability and capable of doing work.


If we dynamat and go with the stock-type rubber liner does this provide adequate sound proofing? Or is the look of carpet interior a better option?

Thanks,
Trever

I can't tell you from personal experience but from what I've read the cheap rubber mats do not come with the sound padding. The better ones do. I think there is info like this in Gembone's thread. But IMHO the carpeting looks better. But the best way to cut down on noise, guys have put sound absorbing material in the doors on the inner side of the door skins and under the headliner. They say that makes a ton of difference.
