Re: Truck Carpet ?
The last two trucks I have used these guys. They will send you samples also. Fit has been good. Lay it out in the sun a while before putting it in. https://www.accmats.com/

Re: Truck Carpet ?
After much reading I seen that when you order carpet for our trucks from Rock auto it comes from ACC. I ordered the carpet from Rock auto it came in a ACC box. I was very happy with the carpet. (It was cheaper then then buying through the ACC site) It just needed a little trimmed off of the sides. If you do a quick google search you can usually find a 5% coupon for Rock auto.
For the install I heated up an gutter nail with a propane torch to poke holes from underneath the truck for the seat bolts and door sill plates..

Re: Truck Carpet ?
I think you'll be pleased with the ACC carpet kit. It fits much better than the other offerings I've installed many years ago.
After setting it out in the sun to relax a little, this is the initial placement of the recent ACC carpet for my personal truck project to mark for trimming:  Here is how it fits after trimming. I will be using a soldering iron to locate the holes for seat mounts hardware, gas pedal, etc.

Re: Truck Carpet ?
I have used Auto Custom Carpets (ACC) for other trucks and cars. It was always good stuff.
I like the idea of using a propane torch to make a hot nail and going from the bottom. I used a soldering iron from the top. |

Concider the "mass backed" option. It's nice and heavy
