there are only two MFGs for reproduction molded carpets.

ACC and Trim parts

All the vendors mentioned earlier will have carpet sourced from either one or the other.
They each will have a slightly different fit, otherwise they are pretty much identical.
ACC has a fully heat melt attched drivers side heal pad, trim parts is stiched & melted.

Thats about the best i can do. There are a lot of complaints about the fit of 68-72 carpet sets (how it goes over the tranny tunnel).

I had good luck with the fit of the trim parts carpet set in my 66, but its a different floorpan mold than you'll need.
