Can anyone share what the factory heel/foot pad looks like on a 1971 GTX?
Rectangular, or rectangular with a cutout, or ?
A picture would be better yet.
Legendary is telling me what I got is correct but it does not match the carpet I took out of my car, mine is factory original.

This was the original carpet to a β71 GTX I owned several years back. They placed one heel pad over another, must have been a defect. Thanks for the reply - can you take another picture with the pad down on the carpet the way it was when you got the carpet? If I understand you correctly the top pad was rectangular without a cutout at the top left? What is the build date of your car?

I always thought a four speed with buckets got the "E" body pad and a 4 speed with bench got the rectangle, is this correct?? Ron That would make sense. The E body 4 speed, and B body with buckets and 4 speed used the same floor and rearward mounted shifter hump. The B body with bench seat 4 speed used the forward mounted hump, similar to the 66-70 floor, so they may have carried the earlier carpet and heel pad on. I question how well the 66-70 type carpet would fit though, since the floors were a bit different in shape. Probably not enough to be a problem though. However, in all my automatic transmission 71-72 B bodies, they have all had the E body type heel pad with the corner notch.
