Carpet - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So i ran into some unexpected money and figured what better to throw it away on than my truck? It is almost ready for paint, so I figured I would get a jump and order a bunch of parts now.

I want to put black carpet in it, but dont know what i am looking for.

I DONT want the crap that they wrap speakerboxes in, or the stuff they sell at walmart that everything sticks to and is impossible to vacuum.

So what options do I have and the best price/fit to get it at?

Original is a loop pattern, but you can get the cut pile which is like more modern vehicles or more like the wal-mart style. I think your cut pile would be better for your vehicle as you do play in the mud with it and such. One thing about shampooing loop style is it starts to rat up into more of the cut pile after scrubbing an area. That is why I recommend the cut pile for you. If it were to stay clean most of the time, I would recommend the original. Trevor

I ordered the pre-molded carpet from Classic Parts of America for 140.00. It came with a backer on it already.
