1965 Dodge Dart Charger

After some measuring of the assembly line carpet it is abvious that there are many errors compare to a replacement carpet.

The factory carpet was two pieces. The front and the rear carpet. They both had different part numbers.

The front carpet had four versions for 1965 Darts.

Bodyline L (Dart)

sedan, sta.wgn, conv.coupe Part#1764xxx

Bodyline H (Dart 270)

sedan, sta.wgn, 2 dr ht, conv.coupe Part#1770xxx

Bodyline P (Dart GT)

Auto trans w/console Part#1759xxx

Bucket seats, auto trans, w/o console Part#1766xxx

4-speed manual, floor shift Part#1760xxx

The rear carpet were different too;

Bodyline L (Dart)

sedan, 2 dr ht, conv.coupe Part#1707xxx

Bodyline H (Dart 270)

sedan, 2 dr ht Part#1707xxx

conv.coupe Part#1708xxx

Bodyline L+H (Dart + Dart 270)

wagon only Part#1709xxx

Bodyline P (Dart GT)

2 dr ht Part#1713xxx

conv.coupe Part#1714xxx

After the work was done there is several things that needs to be corrected for a new carpet. The way the carpet should be mounted is by mounting the accelerator pedal bracket to the floor. That will center the carpet so the carpet covered the whole firewall up to the firewall insulation. At the end of the carpet was the rear carpet. It went over the rear carpet with
about 1/2". The rear center of the front carpet has a sewn end because that was visible between the front bucket seats.

For my hardtop the rear carpet has small strings on each side of the carpet. That is to cover the area between the rear seat and the inside quarter panel.
On reproduction carpets there is no string at all!

I was lucky to find another Cragar S/S wheels on Ebay. It arrived yesterday and this means that I have two spare wheels!
