Check the search feature, I seem to remember this being discussed a few months ago. I have never seen one myself, but that doesn't mean they aren't out there. You might consider making one up from rubber mat material. RV supply shops have a few different choices to look at. Don't have one myself, just sweep it out every once in a while. Good luck, maybe Lawson Cox will weigh in on this one.

I hope Don Rogers will chime in on this as I wouldn't want to steer you wrong. The 36 and 35 (they are different) pickup mats were never reproduced. I believe a 1937 car mat will fit for you with minor trimming except there will be two extra holes where the passenger car accelerator pedal and linkage come through as a car does not use the "spoon" pedal

I modified my transmission cover area to make it flat all the way back to the seat, then cut myself a mat out of rubber matting found at Tractor Supply. No hump, no problem. Cut a couple of patterns first out of cheap indoor outdoor carpet then traced it onto rubber matting.

No one is making a floor mat for a 36 pickup and haven't been for years now. The same goes for the 35 pickup. For future reference, the 35 mat is tan and the 36 is black and both have a splatter pattern similar to the Model A.

I made a floorboard for my BB out of plywood and sealed it with polyurethane. The coating soon turned yellow and people would ask "is the floor supposed to be yellow?" I got tired of answering and painted the floorboard with a generous coating of Herculiner. No more questions and it looks great!
