Cut Pile Carpet Kits?
Hey guys, new to the forum and I love all the information on here. I did a quick search on this and didn't come up with anything.
I'm looking for a carpet kit for my newly acquired 68' C10. I would like to get the newer style cut-pile carpet material but I'm not having a lot of luck finding it. Mainly coming across the original loop-style carpeting. I know from experience that carpet kits are sort of hit/miss as far as quality and full floor coverage goes. I'd like full floor coverage under the seat to the gas tank. Any carpet kits out there that can fit this bill without costing 200.00 or more? Any kits that I should avoid at all costs? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks, Mike |

Re: Cut Pile Carpet Kits?
What's the difference between cut-pile and loop style?

Re: Cut Pile Carpet Kits?
Loop style is the original style carpet from the 60's early 70's. The factory started using the more plush style cut pile carpeting around the late 70's (I think) and is what you'll find in modern cars. IMO, the cut pile is just a much nicer carpet for a driver.

Re: Cut Pile Carpet Kits?
we can do cut/pile and even plush for full floor with tank removed. Not all the same colors are available in both if going any color other than black

Re: Cut Pile Carpet Kits?
Looking for a molded carpet and I don't think most upholstery shops do that sort of thing. Eventually the truck will have bucket seats so there will be some exposed areas in-between the seats, hence the reason for wanting full floor coverage front to back.

Re: Cut Pile Carpet Kits?
To any and all vendors: Pics would rock also a color chart of what all is available in either type. Do all of these cover the area left when removing the tank?
Not to hijack the thread but I'm interested in a tan/fawn that is cut/pile or plush that will cover the entire floor and tank void. Also looking for bulk material for kick panels and rear wall in the same color/type.
