For those of you with the 'burbs, what are you doing for interior? How do you carpet it and make it comfy for hauling friends

Re: Suburban Interiors
 

Well, My friend has an account for ICBC so he can buy written off cars/trucks. Im looking to buy a newer suburban/escalade/silverado with the 6.0 vortec. Was going to use the seats out of it, stereo and such. I was talking to a guy that had a 63 burb, all original seats, he said long hauls with the stock seats, was definatly tough haha!

Usually is.. with the 'old-school technology" that they were.

I was hoping to get some ideas for PJ as well [our panel]
As much as we've debated on the exterior, we haven't really gone ANYWHERE with the interior portion.

Re: Suburban Interiors
 

Is there carpet made for them?

Re: Suburban Interiors
 

i think you can use the carpet for the trucks in it, im not quite sure though

Re: Suburban Interiors
 

On the carpet issue for a burb the truck carpet is too short to go to the riser that goes to the back deck...............What i did was to call ACC and have them add some to the back of the pick-up carpet................Can't remember how much extra it was but they did it for me for a charge of course..........................For the back deck I order the same type of carpet and installed it there..............................hemmit

Re: Suburban Interiors
 

I went w/ pick-up carpet that went under the seats and then used matching carpet the rest of the way back. Its very challenging to do w/ the wheel wells and the door/rocker cut-out meeting the floor. The floor is also different on both sides around the seats.

I like Hemmits idea of going to the riser in the floor; I used a piece of aluminum across the edge to hold the carpet down.

If you do it, post some pics....I was winging it the whole way:lol:.

Re: Suburban Interiors
 

How much did you have them add on? And where would you find matching carpet

Re: Suburban Interiors
 

Lucky.......................The company I got my carpet from also had the the same carpet I used for the interior....................I just told them how much I needed and they sent it to me.....................I think is was about 18" added on to the truck carpet but i'm not sure because it was some time ago
