Hi Ted...

LMC Truck has what looks like a very nice molded rubber (actually
molded industrial polyvinyl) mat. It is available for the WHOLE floor
including the cargo area and under the seats and is molded from the
original floor pans. I don't know if it is actually OEM, but it looks
very authentic. In my catalog, they are shown on the inside cover
page. The set for the Blazer including mats to completely cover the
front area, rear cargo area and 2 wheel wells is $270.
They have them for Blazers and also Suburbans (including the area
under the center seats)...that's what I plan on getting for my M1007.
LMC Truck doesn't have an online catalog, but you can order a catalog
from their web site at www.lmctruck.com.
Good luck!
