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

AirMale · 03-12-2003, 05:13 PM

I helped my friend put some carpet in his truck last week and was surprised how easy it was. He ordered the carpet from Cheyenne pick-up parts. When we went to instal it, the back was perforated were to cut the holes for the seat and belt holes. We proceeded carefully and only made little slits in the pre-marked areas just in case. Well they were perfect and the carpet looks sweet. So the next day I orderd some carpet from Summit cause I had a gift certificate from Christmas. The carpet was from NPI and was every bit as nice as my friends.....except they didn't pre-mark any holes! I returned the carpet and ordered it from Cheyenne so I wouldn't have to jerk around with the holes. Stupid maybe, but when you have everything premarked it only takes 15mins to install this carpet. Cheyenne said that it was ACC brand carpet.
NPI=nice
ACC=nicer
Just in case you were gonna install some.

Yeah, I was happy with the acc carpet also. You can buy it directly from them: www.accmats.com

I think it was about $120.00 ?, and they have a ton of color options, even the orange color for my '78

Thanks for the info, AirMale. It's really nice to have some testimonials of quality products!

Hey cool. So the A.C.C carpets are pretty much 'drop in' eh? I might have to pick up some new carpet for my ol' truck then.

(Need to pull up the stock stuff anyway, time to reroute some wiring.

Now just need to match colors with those seats. :p

I need to look up where mine came from...It is very nice quality and has a nice thick horsehair backing.

It was not cheap either...like others said like 120-150. I will have to check it out too. I think all mine was pre cut except for the seatbelt holes....but it didnt matter since I sliced it up under the seat for the amp wiring and such hehee

I bought some carpet local in town from some old man in cave creek. The carpet fit well and only needed a little trimming on the passenger side right by the door. Has the pad under the pedals and all that. Its nice and all except for when the plastic oil line busted

I think this time Im gonna get spray in liner inside, when I get my bed done. Was Line-X the one that had the little commercial on trucks and thew dropped bricks from like 30' on the lining then blew a pipe bomb up on it, with very min. to no damage at all? Thats what I need

I agree though, the carpet was easier to install then I thought it would be, premolded is the way to go!
