I just happen to be dismantling an 82 diesel with pretty good brown
carpeting, better than in my 83 camper. I was going to swap but not really
into the effort! Let me know if you are interested. I am a couple of days
away from actually removing it. I have the rear too if you need it, this
has a middle bench in place if that matters (has the hole for the seat).
Otherwise no holes.
