I am ordering from Gary's. The samples they sent me are close enough to the original for me. I am going to use the above pictured "Shark" pattern on the floors. It will be $105 for four 72" wide yards delivered to my door. Their customer service has been great- answering my questions and quickly sending the samples I wanted to see.
The aluminum T trim is coming from Mcmaster.com |

What trim did you order? When I ordered mine last year, they only had the smooth and not the ribbed.

Riley- I have not actually placed my order yet. I just found the site last night thanks to Tim and Pete. I hope they have the ribbed since that is closer to the original.

The 3/4" ribbed is what is original. The 1 1/4" is huge. Unfortunately they only have the 3/4" in the smooth top.

That is a big difference. Can anyone else confirm the 3/4"? I know Tim was guessing. |

Ill see if I can measure mine this weekend. Bruce is right that 1-1/4" is larger than original. I could swear that my '71 is bigger than 3/4" though. Id guess it was 1", but I could be wrong. Did you see if Taco Marine had anything like that?

Keeganino, when I say orginal, I'm thinking 1960's. I don't know what was in the 1970's.

Hey, why not get the 1 &1/4 ribbed ,if that's the only trim that can be found and trim about 1/8 or so off both sides. Wouldn't that work if no 'OE' size can be found?

Discussion on locating the correct aluminum T trim for the flooring seemed to stop after April 7. Has anyone located a source for this material? I looked into Taco Metals, but they only have a smooth top T trim and the bottom is too long and would have to be sawed off. My '71 SN and '68 Barracuda both have ribbed T trim that is 7/8" wide on top (the A measurement) and 7/16" deep (the C measurement). The Barracuda is missing all the sections forward of the engine. Please let me know if anyone has any advice on this. Thanks!

Wow! Thanks a lot for the help! I never came up with anything other than looking at the stuff from Taco. I'm going to call this place, Tape-Ease in Wisconsin on Monday morning. Thanks again - Larry
