do 79 doors have carpet at the bottom?
im buying some replacements for my 76 and was curious if they are carpeted at the bottom in 79 or if they are steel? are the panels different? also how do i know if i have an early or late fleetside tailgate?
thanks Justin

My 76 chev has no carpet. My boss's 76 gmc does.

Re: do 79 doors have carpet at the bottom?
77 up the carpet will touch the bottom of the door panel. 76 and back it would not. you'd have a strip of metal between the carpet and the door panel. it will go on the door though.
Here's the difference Last edited by 78 Chevyrado; 01-26-2010 at 04:36 PM. |

Re: do 79 doors have carpet at the bottom?
I suspect it was related to trim level, as well as model year.
Said differently, I know Silverado's would get carpet (not sure on the model year breakdown), but Scottsdale/Cheyenne/Custom Deluxe would not. K

Re: do 79 doors have carpet at the bottom?
78 Chevyrado was not referring to the stainless band you have pictured. The 73-76 door panels are much shorter. If there is carpet at the bottom, they still have an exposed metal area between the carpet and door panel.

Re: do 79 doors have carpet at the bottom?
I know that 77 was a transition year. My early build K5 does not have carpet on the lower panel. Did late 77's (Cheyennes) in fact have it?

I don't think any Cheyenne's had the carpet panels. I believe it was part of the Silverado package.

I don't recall ever seeing carpeted doors on 73-76 trucks...

The VERY ORIGINAL '78 I recently sold did NOT have carpet ...... it was a Deluxe model with rubber mat - that may be why.

My 74 Cheyenne has a 3 or 4 inch wide carpet strip at the bottom of the door.

Re: do 79 doors have carpet at the bottom?
The carpeted lower door trim was part of the full trim interior on 77 and up Silverado only interiors . Cheyenne would not have had that . Silverado had the full length kick panels and the lower door panel carpet . Basically the only thing that wasnt covered in a Silverado was the lower part of the dash . Everything else is covered . I am sure there are 73-76 trucks and some of the 77 up trucks that arent Silverado trim that have the carpet but it has been added by someone . It didnt come factory in trucks until 77 Silverados .
