Anyone use OC Auto Carpets? (Auto Custom Carpets)

[71CHEVYSHORTBED402]

The guy restoring my bench seat recommends them for flooring. Whatever their product, I'd like something "first rate".

I'm looking at the orig. black loop with the "mass backing". Perhaps that's all the floor needs, but then again, they have a set of sound deadeners too. Maybe they go well together.

They have what looks like really nice floor mat options as well, and fuel tank cover that might be an upgrade, though I'm leaning to match the original. Speak of, recommendations for an original replacement in-cab fuel tank cover appreciated.

Edit: Just got off the phone with their rep., she's first rate. Their carpet kits are made in the USA by Auto Custom Carpets.

If you’re going AAC I found the best place to buy from is Rock Auto . I got mine from them . Mass backing loop was much cheaper than anywhere I looked

Thanks. Did you add any additional insulation under that loop?

No I just used the mass and jute . Layed down nice and it’s much quieter than the old rubber mat

I’m about to order from Rock Auto.
ACC Loop with Mass Backing with some partial DynaMat layers down first.

To those who have used the ACC kit, does it come with the floor dimmer switch grommet ??

i've used ACC for years,never had any trouble unlike the one Trim Parts Carpet set i bought that's in my 67 wagon,don't know what i was thinking that day???maybe i wasn't,it's junk.the carpet in my 72 Cheyenne truck is from ACC along with their carpeted mats,made from the same carpet as their sets and with a nice prickly backing that keeps them in place and not skating all over the cab floor.i've never bought extra underlay,just what comes under the carpet and always a 100% happy.can't go wrong there.

I ordered and installed mine this summer and it did not come with the grommet.

[samkost]

Well, that’s too bad. I guess I’ll have to look for a grommet now.
Now you would think that they would include one for our C10’s.
It’s never one and done is it?

[mr.mud1]

the grommet for the dimmer switch has always been in any carpet i've used or sold?call ACC,i 'd bet they'd send you one,

[samkost]

Ok fingers crossed
Let’s see if it comes with a grommet from RockAuto/ACC.
If not I will definitely call.
Thanks mr.mud1

Strange mine did ,havnt cut the carpet for yet though

I first ordered from TMI.
I was totally disappointed when it showed up in multiple pieces, and even more disappointed after I installed it.
To explain: I thought I had ordered a one piece, high hump, along with the carpet for the back wall. (No tank)
What showed up was three separate pieces for the floor pan, and another piece for the back wall.
The way the three pieces overlapped was unbelievably ugly...with no way to hold it down. My Son gave me his floor mats to try and hind the “seams”, which, when I tried to remove the floor mats, the teeth on the backside STUCK to the carpet, and pulled it out along with the floor mats.
So, out with that crap, and I immediately ordered a full set of carpet, including side panels for the kicks, and the back wall.
Guess what? It was a one piece molded carpet that fit awesome, and looks even better.
I also ordered floor mats with the “GMC” logo on them.
Zero complaints with ACC.

I used ACC also. Came with grommet but you has to cut the hole. I also put sound deader in and it’s well worth it. I installed it inside the doors also. It is worth every penny.

[coldrider]

Guess I'm the only one who didn't get the grommet, oh well, stuff happens, i still think ACC is great company, they got a bunch of samples out to me quickly and were great answering my question to ensure I was ordering the right stuff.

I ordered through one of their distributors who only gave me 3 days from "receipt" of the carpet to make claims. Well, receipt for me was Seattle. The freight forwarding company I used from Seattle to Anchorage takes another week, and it was another week past that by the time I noticed I didn't get one.

I suppose I could've tried, but it wasn't worth the hassle for such a small thing, esp. since I wasn't 100% sure one should have been included.

I've used ACC on a number of projects with good results with the exception of my current 80 Camaro project. Many creases that I thought would come out over time but no luck.
Pic of the insulation I added to my 68.
I only used the ACC floor carpet on my 68. I used what's called trunk liner on the back wall of the cab. Got it at a local fabric shop for about $20.

I ended up ordering the floor loop with mass backing, their loop gas tank cover, and floor mats. 615 with shipping.

You spent more money than me Tony!
Yeah I just ordered my mass backed carpet also.
Let us know about the molded gas tank cover and their matching floor mats when they come in.
There has been some favorable posts about the newer molded gas tank carpet and how a forum member here worked with ACC to refine the fitment.
Would like to know more about how it is installed to the tank and back wall.
I was also looking for positive comments on ACC’s matching floor mats.
ACC offers custom embroidered logos.
My truck is Hugger Orange and White, so I think Black mats with one their several Orange thread colored Bow Ties would be a nice touch.
Thanks, Sam

I will update for sure. I had no particular reason for choosing the looped tank cover beyond its more expensive. Sometimes you get what you pay for, this time maybe not. I'd have saved 50 or so to get everything through rock auto.

Thanks Tony,
Looking forward to any updates and info.

Im in the process of laying down 80 ml kilmat and plan on also buying acc carpet any recommendations on what works best for heat ordering it with mass backing or no backing and using 1/4 Dynaliner over the kilmat?

[samkost]

Just a follow up for everyone who orders an ACC Carpets kit for their C10/20/30’s
My carpet kit with mass backing came in and it is definitively a quality carpet.
I posted a question about the dimmer switch grommet being included.
Unfortunately I didn’t get one in the box.
I called ACC asking if the grommet is an included part of the kit and they said yes, it should have been.
One phone call to them and they will send you a grommet.
Tip of the hat goes to ACC for great customer service.
Thanks all for your posts,
Sam
