Repro floor liners?

Anyone know where the reproduction rubbery floor mat liner replacements might be found? I'm in the process of internet search. I want to know where I can get something to put down after my floorboard hole patch repair is done. They must be out there somewhere. Mine are 32 years old, more weathered than usual from the floorboard holes, therefore brittle and cracking near the holes.

Now I'm not about to start the floorboard repairs just yet, but as a winter measure, I'm looking for something to put down just to block the cold draft coming in. It's having quite an effect on my heater's performance. The draft kind of just makes the cab tolerable, not toasty and warm as it should. I'll get to the floors soon enough, but probably not at these temperatures. There are lots of temporary fixes I could pursue, but for the sake of later on, I'd like to get a nice blue rubber floor mat at some point.

I've seen repro carpet kits (just bought and installed one, actually; they're decent), but I've never seen reproduction vinyl. However, the carpet kit came with a molded rubbery backing, and I wonder if you could make a phonecall to the manufacturer to see if you can get just that from them, without the carpet they glue on later?

I think mine was also made by ACC (Auto Custom Carpets). The fit was a bit better than the one above, especially around the gas pedal, and a black carpet masks smaller wrinkles.

I can't have carpet in a truck. Maybe just paint the whole thing with a thick bed liner? A smooth one so it would wash off fairly easily.
