ACC
Find the person that will sell you the ACC carpet at the lowest price. Good fit (not great) and a good value.
Wes - I didn't know you when I ordered mine. Maybe next time. good luck, scott

Hear me out.....
ACC does make the best carpet for these trucks. But, it will fade and change colors after awhile. Just take your floor mats out after a sunny Texas summer, and you'll see what I mean. But, never-the-less, ACC seems to be the best available right now.

Is this ACC carpet full length, or does it have tails, on the sides and bare under the seat?

No price war thats our price in our catalog. It is the full carpet to the tank, our rubber mats have the tails.
TX Firefighter is there a brand you know of that will not fade? I'm always looking for better quality parts.

No sir, I don't. ACC is the best we all have to work with right now. I just plan on replacing it every two years or so. It's cheap enough.

ACC is moulded for high or low hump applications, no seams.

gas tank cover
......and they sell a matching gas tank cover. I had to trim the cover, they gave me too much carpet (or I didn't know how to make it all fit in the cab). Edges are seamed. Like Tx Firefighter said, cheap enough to replace when they get worn or faded.

So I am quessing that nobody is making a carpet that goes all the way back to the back of the cab if you pull the tank. If not what are some of you guys doing about that last few inches?
Thanks

Bowtiefreak, You can always go to an auto trim shop and pick up 2 yards of non molded carpet. That is what I did and I ran it from way up on the firewall all the way over the gas tank. It looks really clean and it's tight on the floor. It's actually the cheapest way. My uncle used the same stuff when he cleaned the truck up the first time and that was over ten years ago. I pulled the brown carpet the he installed out when I installed my buckets, The carpet actually looked good still. It was a little faded though.
