Do you have the right strip in there (don't know, just asking) and did you emphasize the year of your truck when you ordered it? Reason I ask is the company I used said if the rug was incorrect they would send me the correct item as a replacement. You might find out if you have that option. I know that the rugs are different for a 84' and 85' because of the shapes of the floor pan under the front seats. Not a lot different but they are enough that the guy told me they use a different form when making the rugs. I used Stock Interiors out of the Carolinas. Very happy with the rug and their service. Only thing I didn't like was the cheap vents in the door rug panels. I switched them out with the originals.
Yeah...I ordered it and they made it when I ordered it, for a 1974. I put the front edge down first and if I had been real careful and just barely stuck the carpet under the edge of the front sill it might have just barely fit....but I punched holes for the roll bar and it is where it is....I'll order another piece someday and measure the bed and tell them it must be at least that long.
You don't even notice it with the tailgate closed...it's jus when you open it and see a couple inches of painted bed..
