Tim Christain,who else. I just received a complete carpet kit the other day from him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**Classic Heartbeat** · 09-17-2003, 10:49 PM

Ours are manufactured by Auto Custom Carpet. The best in the industry. $109.95 check our website we can get you just about any color you want. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

gr8scott51 · 09-18-2003, 12:03 AM

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

**Classic Heartbeat** · 09-18-2003, 12:05 AM

Can't get them all... LOL Glad that you did get an ACC though.. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

Tx Firefighter · 09-18-2003, 12:30 AM

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.

hughnews1 · 09-18-2003, 06:58 AM

SUn ? Welll I am safe then.... up here in W ny state .. where rust never sleeps ... no prob with Sun ..lol ... now snow..lol

MOTHERTRUCKERS · 09-18-2003, 08:22 AM

ACC carpet 95.00 in our catalog, all colors.

Hugger · 09-18-2003, 09:30 AM

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

*rickspickuppart* · 09-18-2003, 11:16 AM

OK, I'll jump on the bandwagon to ACC truck carpets for 89.00 all colors. They go all the way back to the tank.

No3Fan4Ever · 09-18-2003, 12:41 PM

Cool.........A price war

What can you guy's do about the gas price's

MOTHERTRUCKERS · 09-18-2003, 08:38 PM

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.

lost wages · 09-19-2003, 12:40 AM

how far does the carpet go up to the firewall? i will probably have custom wool carpeting done but just curious.

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.

BUXMAN66 · 09-19-2003, 03:07 AM

thanks for the replies guy's.i'm lookin' for the loop style type of pile....i got this j.c.whitney lookin'sh@t now that has a hem sewn in across the tranny hump and also from that hem on the hump up the firewall under the heater duct ....kinda looks tacky at shows and all......

MOTHERTRUCKERS · 09-19-2003, 07:13 AM

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

gr8scott51 · 09-19-2003, 09:28 AM

......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.

Bowtiefreak · 09-19-2003, 09:47 AM

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

Hotrod70C10 · 09-19-2003, 01:09 PM

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.

MOTHERTRUCKERS · 09-19-2003, 07:56 PM

We can sell you an extra yard of the same style and color.

truckresq · 09-19-2003, 09:13 PM

Does anyone offer burnt orange SHAG???? Kidding

Hotrod70C10 do y ou have any pics of the carpet your reffering to, the 2 yards of carpet style? Thanks, would love to see how it came out.
