N600 Interior help

I am new to the forum. I recently inherited a 1969 N600 from a close relative. It is in very nice shape other than the 50yr old interior. I’m not having ANY luck finding interior replacement options. (Floor mat, glovebox insert etc.) Any pointers appreciated. Thanks in advance.

No one reproduces a floor mat for an N series. Finding a NOS original will be almost impossible, but if you do find one, it probably won't be any good.

You could take it to an upholstery shop and have a carpet made for it.

The 1963/69 N series cabs are very similar to 1961/66 F100/1100, so they share many of the same parts.

ALL the weatherstrips are reproduced: windshield/vent window/back glass/door surround/division bars/inner/outer belt. But the repro parts sellers only list them for 1961/66 F100/350.

C1TZ-8106010-A .. Glove Compartment (insert aka liner) / Reproduced

1961/66 F100/1100 // 1963/69 N/NT500/1100 // 1967/69 F800/1000 /// Will be listed by the repro parts sellers for 1961/66 F100/350.

This is a beautiful well kept truck, one of the nicest I've ever seen. Since its in KS, was probably used on a farm. Most farm trucks this old are worn out and are rusting away out in a pasture.

FTE member ms_michelle has a beautifully restored 1967 N series. Pictures are in her gallery.

It was painted in '81 originally it was yellow.

Looks better in blue, nice contrast to the Ruby Red F150 parked next to it.

Yellow belongs on school buses.

Why was it parked in the shed so long?

Looks like an original homestead in the background. A somewhat common sight on the plains.

Pulled in shed that fall and sold out in the spring. Maintained homestead and a few small pieces of equipment. Had a 66’ C700 tandem that sold at that time.

C series Tilt Cabs are very popular on FTE, but there are no NOS body parts available. No weatherstrips are available, none are repro'd, nothing from another series truck will work.
