No difference that I know of. And can't think of a reason why there would be.

Can't speak for the LMC carpet, but if it's like the rest of their stuff, quality isn't the right word.

I bought my carpet at Home Depot and fitted it to the floor in about an hour.

Try www.accmats.com. They make a mat for external tanks that runs farther back. There are other vendors as well. LMC doesn't make any and is just a reseller. Auto Carpet for Car, Truck, Van - Stock Interiors is another good supplier.

If you have removed the tank from the bed, try ordering carpet for a 73-79. There was 4 in added at the rear of the cab in 73 and the remaining floor is same as 65-72.

Some carpets go along the rocker and don't extend under the seat and leave it metal. Others cover the floor in its entirety and extend to under where the gas tank would be.

Know which you are ordering.

The PO of '70 included new carpet which was still in the box... I pulled it out too late to discover it didn't extend under the bench and I going to install buckets... installed it anyway and now it is on my to-do list to install the correct carpet... gotta relocate the in-cab tank first though... dang to-do list!!!

The only 1967/72 F100/350's that didn't have an in-cab fuel tank were Crew Cabs or 1969/72 F100/350's with the factory in-cab storage compartment that took the place of the fuel tank.

When the storage compartment was installed, the optional 25 gallon auxiliary fuel tank became a mandatory order for an obvious reason.

You aren't going to gain any additional legroom by relocating the in-cab fuel tank. When back all the way, the lazy-back of the seat hits the back of the cab.

The carpet without cab tank will cover all way to the back of the cab. The best buy I found is Rock Auto, they carry ACC carpet and the 100% Nylon is $108.79 and the 80% Rayon/20% Nylon is $115.79.

Moving the tank nets storage space for tools, spares, n such... that's my motivation for removing the in cab tank.

I believe if you have a C6 you need the high hump.

Yup I ordered the High HUMP , fit was perfect .
I added a layer of Dyna mat (knock off) under carpet . It made a huge difference in noise in the cab .
