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

I have new floor carpet, kickpanels, and rear cab carpet to install. Ive got lots of questions.
Do I need to get padding for the whole carpet area on the floor?
Do I glue it all in, or does it lay down itself OK?
As far as the carpet on the rear of the cab, should I put a piece of particle board or something similar to get a smooth surface to glue the carpet to, as opposed to the big ridges in the body of the back of the cab?
Im thinking I will use some strong velcro for the kick panels at least...
Any suggestions are appreciated.
