Feeling Blue - blue carpet pics - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello all,
I have been on this sight for a while now and will begin work on my 70 CST once again. Nothing too major....wiring, gauges, and interior. It was painted about 20 years ago and still looks good (I like the older used truck look). Anyway, currently has a grey interior and I want to go to a blue interior. I have the repop seat upholstery in bright blue, but am trying to select the carpet color. I am not sure what color would look best. ACC makes a blue carpet and a bright blue carpet....does anyone have picks of their blue carpets they can share with the manufacturer and color? I have searched high and low finding A LOT of great pics without manufacturer name and color. Not looking for dark blue......thinking maybe the ACC bright blue or the light medium blue. I will post pics in the near future....kids broke my camera and my phone isnt the best. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I believe mine was the bright blue. I do know it was ACC brand. Trevor

ACC 06 Ford Blue matched better than the Medium Blue.

Thanks everyone, i really appreciate the help! Kennuck, how is the quality on Trim Parts carpet? I have been thinking either Trim Parts or ACC. Thanks again...

carpet is from stock interiors, #552; sorry about the rotation of the pic. The fit was flawless, only need to make holes for bench seat screws and dimmer switch

I have use Trim Parts and ACC they seem the same to me. Got the Trim Parts from Vendor Laidbackrecreations on here. I'm Happy with it.

If I recall correctly, the ACC carpets will be finished on all four edges. The Trim Parts carpet will not be finished on the back edge. The Trim Parts carpet is extra long so if you need extra carpet for your doors or kick panels you might take that in to consideration.
