Default 2 door vs. 4 door carpet

So now that we've determined the carpet color, we're looking to put carpet in my son's 65 Tempest crew cab. I see that a couple of places offer 4 door carpet, but they say auto only. My son's car has a floor shifted 3 speed. I contacted one place, and they said they don't make 4 door carpet for floor shift manual. I asked if I could buy the front piece for a 2 door 4 speed, and the back piece for a 4 door, but they said they can't separate kits. They suggested I buy 2 sets of carpet and just use what I need. Not a useful option for a 17 year old on a taco bell salary.

So....I have no doubt that the front carpet for a 2 door will fit his 4 door. I'm thinking we could just buy 2 door carpet and it should be wide enough to go under the rear door sills? It's been a while since I put carpet in one of these cars; aren't they usually cut longer/wider and you have to trim them to fit? Has anyone tried this?

Thanks,
Importsmasher
