floorboard/carpet question
i am almost complete with a frame off restoration on my 68 f-250. one of my conversions was from a granny 4 speed to a c-6, i got a molded carpet from lmc for an automatic truck and it fits like crap it goes about 2-3 inches up the back cab wall without the gas tank in but it also is about 3/4 to 1 inch short of the kick panels on both sides, i did a search and found numerous articles on the tranny hump but am still a bit confused. this truck, like i said had a 4 spd and it has a bolt in hump did the autos just have a flat plate in place of this? i took the bolt in hump out and it fit a little better but still seems alittle too short on the sides? is there somewhere i can find a flat bolt in plate or should i just fabricate one my self or is there another fix? i really want the carpet to meet the kick panels and am not having much luck even with no pan in at all

My '72 came with a C4 automatic and it did not have a bolt in hump...just short flat hump. I think the C6 equiped trucks had the higher bolt-in hump. If your carpet is for the C4 type hump then it won't fit right.
