Re: Bucket Seat Gas Tank Carpet
These clips look a lot like the clips that are being repopped to install the trim below the rear window on two paint trucks. Whether or not they would wood, I don't know.

Re: Bucket Seat Gas Tank Carpet
This looks like the part number we need to order for the molded carpet... Would you agree IronCanine?

Re: Bucket Seat Gas Tank Carpet
That's it! And cheaper than the incorrect version! Pretty cool.

Re: Bucket Seat Gas Tank Carpet
Jumping in since I plan to order... and thanks to the board members for making this happen
![]() Have others seen the price variations on the carpet? I took a screen grab from one vendor and directly from ACC, ...$85 vs $157 (and did confirm the vendor is selling ACC) Molded tank cover: $85 vs $157 and carpet (w/Mass backing) : $187 vs. $358

Re: Bucket Seat Gas Tank Carpet
Got my carpet today. Looks pretty good but the molds are creased so I’m not super happy about that

Re: Bucket Seat Gas Tank Carpet
That shouldn't be that wrinkled, ask the supplier about an exchange.

Re: Bucket Seat Gas Tank Carpet
I am great full for all the work that went into getting this done. Is there any word from ACC on doing a 67-68 version too?

It may be possible to make this carpet appear factory correct for buddy bucket trucks. There may be enough "tail" on the bottom of our carpet that you could carefully cut out the cove and slide it up. I'd have to think about how you'd adhere backing to it secondarily.

Re: Bucket Seat Gas Tank Carpet
I would definitely call them then. I don't know about Dirt's72, but the two they sent me had the mass backing--as it should. See this pic of the carpet we put in our truck (the second carpet they made).
EDIT: You can also see the level of creasing we had above the "cove".

Re: Bucket Seat Gas Tank Carpet
They said they do not offer this product with mass backing. The are replacing the carpet for me. Very good custom service.

Re: Bucket Seat Gas Tank Carpet
PM sent. They should put the backing on there. I think it's important to keep the carpet smooth over the tank...especially over time. If they don't want to put it on there, I'd definitely add some...or a reasonable facsimile of it.

Re: Bucket Seat Gas Tank Carpet
I am not near my truck and, therefore unable to verify this, but I'm 95% sure that the original tank carpet in my '69 does not have mass backing. It's just like the original floor carpet which also did not have mass backing.

Dirt's72 and I get nothing out of this other than a quality part for our trucks and the satisfaction of something contributed to the community. Considering the effort spent in that process, I would be more than a little disappointed if ACC did not correct this oversight...which I still think they will. ACC really was great to work with on this project.

Re: Bucket Seat Gas Tank Carpet
I have never owned a bucket seat truck, but have multiple sets of everything required except the carpet. This thread has been very informative, for when the time comes.

Re: Bucket Seat Gas Tank Carpet
ACC is a first class company in my dealings with them.

Re: Bucket Seat Gas Tank Carpet
Does anyone know where I can buy an original style gas tank carpet for 71 with buckets? I don't want the one that most are selling that mounts on top of the gas tank. I wish these company's that reproduce parts would make them like the originals. It seems they just don't take the time to go the extra mile and make it right. Some don't care but I'm picky when it comes to details.
Thanks |

Re: Bucket Seat Gas Tank Carpet
Hi IronCanine,
Thanks for you response and I did see the reference to ACC after I posted this question. I have reached out to them to confirm what they have, is what I'm looking for. I have an original 71 Cheyenne SWB with about 70% original paint. I've owned it for about 18 years now. It is a factory tilt, posi, rear slider and overload spring truck. The original owner bought it to pull a small camp trailer and had a canopy on it. He must have ordered this truck that way. I have since pulled the overloads loads out, lowered it a bit, put and OD trans in it and added a tach dash. I'm now in the process of added buckets. Fun truck to drive and is one of my favorite of many 67-72 Chevy/GMC trucks I've owed since the late 70's. |

Beautiful truck. Thanks for sharing. Glad ACC took care of you. The carpet will require a little fitment, but we've got step by step install pictures posted on here to get you where you want to go. Best of luck.
