Carpet install 1968 C20 50th

I purchased this super clean 1968 C20 last spring from list member Short-T. When I bought the truck he included a new carpet that he had bought but not installed. So today I installed it.

Went well and I learned a couple of things from searching here before I started.
Carpet thanks patience!

Burn holes through the carpet with a solder iron for the bolt holes.

Re: Carpet install 1968 C20 50th

Still haven't mounted the gas pedal back in. I am going to let the carpet 'settle' into place and then figure out how to get the stubs back out to attach the pedal.

Off to a local car show and shine tonight.

Is there a pad under that carpet?

There was a small amount of pad attached to the bottom side of the carpet, but not another pad.
