What is the best pre fit carpet to order

[mgore68]

I need to order some new carpet and I want it to run all the way to the back of the cab. There seems to be a huge amount of suppliers and I have no idea who to fool with. Could some of you give me some advice on which kits fit best and will cover all the way to the back.

ACC (Auto Custom Carpets)

[John H.]

Stock interiors sells ACC on eBay including shipping. Pick your color and they offer extended carpet if the tank was removed.

High hump or low.

I'm looking for carpet for my '69 and someone on the board had mentioned Rock Auto in a thread. They sell ACC and their prices were great. I haven't ordered yet but they have all options....high hump, low hum, gas tank, no tank, etc.

I looked at some carpet from LMC installed in a truck. It looked good except to me it should have came farther up in front, it didnt even go to the top of gas pedal. Is that the way its supposed to fit?

The best I've ever seen is whatever it is that Wes (Classic Heartbeat) sells. Have purchased two from him, very satisfied. Don't know brand, he could tell you, but it's high quality and a great fit. http://www.classicheartbeat.com/ Oh, and he responds to emails, pm's, phone calls - more than I can say for most of the big box stores. Will continue to buy from him. Here's his carpet page too: http://www.classicheartbeat.com/interior2.htm

Another vote for ACC carpet. Here's a picture of my 67 with ACC carpet in the original Fawn color.

Nevermind. Looks like its fawn sandalwood. Found it on Rockauto.

This is exactly what I'm looking for but don't see fawn listed as a color. Can you tell me what color you option you chose SoCo?

I used a 531 Saddle carpet. My truck was originally a rubber mat truck. Stockinteriors.com does offer 519 Fawn in 80/20 loop.

Although I haven't installed it yet I just picked up mine from Stock Interiors.com I ordered the carpet with the mass back to go to the back of the cab as I'm pulling the gas tank out for a rear mount and I also ordered another piece to cover the back of the cab as buckets and console are going in.The carpet came in ACC boxes and the grommet for dimmer switch was loose. I was surprised at the shipping cost. From South Carolina ,I know its a fair distance, to Montana for 3 boxes, I got floor mats too, was 68.00.

Whatever LMC sells, which is most likely ACC. I added the kickpanel carpet.

The floor carpet fit well. The tank carpet, if you happen to have buckets, was garbage (just bulk carpet, not formed, no rivets, etc...).

I got mine from Classic Parts of America and it fit like a glove...

[OregonNed]

ACC for sure. Very nice product that fit perfectly

[mgore68]

Thanks guys. That is one of the next things on my to do list.

Any of you go with heat/sound deadening material underneath? Does the carpet fit over it OK? Does anyone make a pre-cut kit for this material? Is there a carpet kit that includes it?

Thanks

ACC is easy to install and good quaity. Save yourself the extra $100 on the mass backing and buy a can of adhesive and a roll of the backing and do it yourself. I had to add my own in some areas anyways as theirs did not completely cover the underside of the carpet. I added more on top of what they included and it made a big difference in heat from the engine.

www.gmcpauls.com sells the sound deadener kit that is exactly like original

Does the ACC carpet have a hole cut and the piping around the dimmer switch? The pictures on their website do not show this.
Thanks

No. I don't think any of the brands does. Probably not desirable due to variations in position due to carpet placement. If I recall, it comes with a grommet for the hole as the original carpet came with.
