New Original Sport Type Bronco Floor Mats Coming From Dennis Carpenter?

[sprdv1]

Cost is not too bad at all.

Definitely could be worst...

Seen this picture of an original Black Sport mat for a installed shot.

That's my old '76. Non Sport with F/R Black Factory mat.

Ford's official documentation stated the base models switched from a black to a parchment mat in '77.

If that's the case, was there a scenario where a '77 would have come with a Black full 2 piece mat?

My 77 sport I had back in the day had the full 2 piece mat that was black....

 

[BajaFresh75]

I bet the '77's had both Black and Parchment.

One advantage of a slow restoration. New products come out.

Mmmmm, no. I have changed direction about 10 times because of new products

There seems to be a lot of confusion on these mats. It seems that several people think there were only two styles, short black or parchment full length. This thread below outlines a good list of the numerous variations in the original mats:

I received my rear mat- the front is on back order ETA November at this point. Looks and feels really nice and the fitment is perfect. It is nice and thick and heavy. I do have an OEM ribbed undermat underneath along with two layers of peel and stick insulation. I would suggest getting one of those undermats to even out the bed ribs.

I have not installed the retainers yet. I’ll need to pull it back out to make way for the cage and then hopefully trim it up where the cage mounts to the floor. Expensive but worth it IMO given the quality.

Looks like they did a good job on the mat's surface texture - now if they could just do a correct color, we'd have a winner!

It looks like maybe they bailed on the Parchment mats...they used to be a "coming soon" item but no longer even listed on the site...

Thanks for the pictures. I'm considering the mats as well.

All that work and expense to set up, why not do the correct white color?

 

[JGbronc]

Black was originally available in base models. I guess everyone ignored the link I posted above but it’s a thread on original mats and the numerous colors they were available in, not just Parchment.

I am aware, I have blue, orange, red, black and parchment. I just think parchment would be a popular color and more universal.

I agree, as I’ll be wanting one for a ‘76 Sport eventually

Black is correct too depends on the bronco. I bought one and they are very nice quality. I think they are still trying to do the sport parchment mats but the color is harder than it looks its not just a solid color. I don't think there is anyone that really knows how ford did it.I think it would be easier to do the colored ones than the oatmeal one. Dennis Carpenter had a sample of the oatmeal one at super celebration the pass 2 years and it's not right and they know it. I plan to try and color one blue some time soon we shall see. I also know some one that is going to try to recreate the oatmeal one too I look forward to see how it turns out. But yes hyghlndr I to wish and hope they can get the oatmeal one right I think it is in high demand.

So the sport models had the parchment? And did you say someone is gonna make them?

Yes, and we thought yes, but now it sounds like maybe no?

I saw it! I see you! Good info there. I for another sure would like a parchment or Oatmeal or overexposed decaying burlap "white" one for the future.

We shall see.
