Hello

I started working on a 78 2wd and I want to replace the rubber floor mat with the carpet I left from my last truck. I have charcoal carpet from classic ind, will the carpet from a 82 go into a 78. They are the same truck column auto , small hump, reg cab with bench seat. Can I use this carpet in my 78???

If the trans tunnels are the same they will fit.

Does 82 have the dimmer switch in the column ???
maybe that why the part # is different cuz the 78 would have the rubber for the dimmer switch thats on the floor

most carpet kits sold don't have holes in them. Different PN's would indicate different years and different colors availible along with different floor configurations; auto, hi hump, low hump, 4 speed, high hump, 4x4 etc...

The 82 had dimmer on the floor, and both cabs are the same trans hump
i wonder if they would tell me if I call them or if they would even know

I thought I answered this, but they are the same. I put 86 carpet in my 73. If the trans tunnel is the same they will fit.
