Re: Best Interior Parts?

The carpet set I purchased from American Custom Carpet fit perfect. The carpet has started to fade from olive green to brown much more quickly than I anticiapated.

The side panels were ordered from Brothers Trucks but they arrived from Truck World box. The material on the panels is much softer and uses real stitching so they look really nice.

The holes on my exisiting chrome strips that hold the side panes onto the quaterpanel bed rail had to be elongated so I could move the strip up about an 1/8" to make room to fit the slightly thicker side panels in along with the carpeted wheel wells.

The side panels do not have metal upholstery gromets like the originals so I installed the panels using 3M Velcro. I am happy with the look and they panels do not move at all.

We carry the ACC carpet kits with free shipping. Here's a link to them on the site. We have the cargo area too.

Chevy Truck Carpet

If you need a color other than black. I can send you a free color sample so that you can see what it looks like.

I used ACC carpet as well. I don't know how you got your wheel tub carpet to fit so well. Mine fits like total crap. Didn't really care how that part was made. Rest of it seems to fit okay.

My father-in-law installed the wheel well carpet. He is was professional carpet installer and spent a good bit of time making sure they were installed correctly using spray adheasive. The mold for the wheel well carpet was better than the orginals. The mold followed every bend and contour.

Ah, the glue would be the difference then. I wasn't willing to use glue on mine. Didn't want it to be a pain to remove later down the road.
Since it was supposed to be molded, I just expected it to sit down better around the wheel wells.

If I didn't have a roll bar attached the the front of the wheel wells and actually holding the carpet in place, it would be even worse, and I probably would have thrown it away.

Re: Best Interior Parts?

A bit off topic sorry, but a question about a part in Green Monster's 3rd last photo. Does anyone repo the passenger seat hold down? The piece bolted to the floor with a hole in the center. I did a quick search of the forums and came up empty. Thanks.
