Adding carpet to K5. What do I need?
 
My 1972 has no carpet. I am going to buy a front to back kit from ACC. What else do I need? Mines not a cst so I need to wider kit but I do want to add rear panels someday. Highhump? It's 4x4 so I assume highhump. What about carpet strips? Are they available in repro? Jute backing, adhesive spray? Any tips? So seat mounts just screw thru carpet? Doesn't look,like there are cutouts. Matt

4x4 will be a high hump. The rear carpet is held down at the front and back edges with a trim piece. I have seen repops for sale on the parts forum. The seats just screw through the carpet like you mentioned. I have not installed carpet before but when I removed mine there appeared to be so kind of adhesive used. Mine also had a rubber mat in on both sides of the rear seat that help keep the carpet "smooth" so you couldn't feel the ribs of the truck bed.

Thanks. I see the rear carpet leveler mentioned a bunch but always first thing sold when parted out. Not available in repro I guess. I found the redone strips so thanks. Matt
