We have a local guy do ours. We have one for all 3 of our trucks. I just have to put mine on. They are nice. I like them better than the back of the box... Good dogs go on front, young dogs on back. They can barf and crap all they want on the back. But the front is reserved for buisness, LOL.

Ours cost $130 flat. He's made tons of them so he usually has the measurements for them. But some trucks he'll have to measure. Both our Toyota's he made them perfectly and we didn't bring them in, as every hunter has a Yota. But he had to see my Chevy S10 and measure it. I'm sure if you called him he'd make it for ya, not sure if he'd ship, but I'd say he would.

I've got one off a 1984 Chev. 1/2 ton full size truck. Its blue in color, in good shape and has two dee rings for chains. It looks the same as the one shown on the Toyota above so you'd have to install snaps on your truck if it would fit. You can have it for nothing if you want to pay shipping from Ca. which I guess would be around $30.00.

Lost the buisness card and its been several yrs but I think it was johnsons upholstry in redding california, the guy has built a ton of them and usually already has the measurments on hand of whatever you drive.

Another option is a hood from a junk yard. Just buy it and glue the carpet right to it. That way you don't mess up your good hood. Thats what I did. You used to be able to get one for less than a hundred dollars for a toyota.

Kickemall, do you have the measurements for the pad you want to get rid of?

kickemall · Post by **kickemall** » Tue Nov 20, 2007 10:33 pm

Its up in the rafters in the barn so in the next few days I'll grab it and get some measurements. And it also came from Johnstons in Redding.
