My 1968 dart original carpet was 1 piece . But I see if I order new carpet they come in 2 piece has anyone seen there being a 1 piece to order new. And if not why? Thanks jesse
 
Just looked that one up as well , it states 2 pieces. Wondering if thay don’t do 1 piece anymore?
 
Just got off the phone with ACC they say that the mold they have Is based of the original 2 piece design. That maybe what I have is a special ?
 
Here u can clearly see it’s a 1 piece

Unless you have owned the car since new anything could have happened over the years. my 67 Dart ( yes it could have changed in 68) is 2 pcs and my dad bought it new in 67.

straight from the 68 parts book - 2 pcs

Like said, in 50 years building Mopars and many, I don't recall seeing a 1 piece carpet, but does it really matter/? Only place I would buy new repop carpet from is ACC anyway. Where else!
 
Looks pretty original has foot rest and found many pieces of build sheet on floor which leads me to believe nothing was removed.
 
BTW if it is OEM carpet it will have markings and maybe even a tag on the back side

Wow this is an interesting thread. My 68 dart 2 door sedan also came with a 1 piece carpet. I had always assumed that the 1 piece carpet was original from the factory. And that the aftermarket had always made the carpet in 2 pieces because of shipping costs and it doesn't matter anyway once you install your seats
I'll post a picture in a little bit
 
It’s a molded 1 piece carpet no tagging, well i guess I’ll never know. May just keep it for prosperity. Already ordered the 2 piece carpet. But there was 2 holes cut out under seats and 2 more small holes towards rear seat pan maybe carpet came from another vehicle.

I guess I never gave it any thought all these years. But it makes sense Mother Mopar having a one piece and also ACC having 2 piece and shorter box for shipping.
