Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Really bummed, but I think I was sent the wrong carpet set.
I ordered a high hump kit and it says on the box it is for the "400 transmission", but its too short in the front from side to side. The rear of the front piece seems to be wide enough (pics 3 &4) but the front that goes over the high hump ends up being 2 inches too narrow at my passenger kick panel. Do you think they will send me a replacement?

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Of course not! I pulled the edges up slightly so I could fully sand and paint behind it.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
The last carpet kit I got was about 2" too long at each door opening.
It had to be trimmed to fit. I believe it came from Brother Truck Parts. (not sure of the brand) I would send that back. Order for a 4x4 burb or 4spd manual trans and you will get the high hump version for sure. Most companies just specify low hump or high hump.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Interesting. Last year I bought a carpet from ACC for my low hump, and it was too full over the hump. I ended up putting a couple of extra layers of padding over the hump to fill it out. Looks like their molds aren't too accurate.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
ACC has always been known to make nice replacement carpets- hope they work with you

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
About 6 years ago I got the ACC carpet for my 72 suburban with the high hump. It was also about 2 in to short on the ends. I sent it back and the next set was about 1/4 inch to short. Same carpet number on both sets. Everything in the back fit really well.

Not quite as short as yours so my sill plates just barely covered the edge of the carpet (like 1/16" under the edge barely). I should have sent them back as the edges come out from under the sill plates when I vacuum the car out.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Saturday Night Picture Time
I scavenged jute padding from some of my 2002 part out trucks and today I was gluing it down to the floor. I also crammed the rear window panel surrounds full. The rear carpet set seems to fit fine. Since I had to order a Burb carpet kit, I will use the rearmost suburban carpets to make a rear panel carpet cover (below the glass), but between the carpet and jute padding I am installing some plywood to mount my air ride box and wires out of the way and off the floor. Man this thing ought to be quiet!!!

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
And now its looking nicer!
The rear panel got Dynamat, then jute padding, then 3/4 plywood, and then carpet. I made some clamps to attach the plywood to the old gas tank mounts. With the plywood there I can mount my air ride stuff out of reach. I hope I don't need to mess with it.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Looks like I ended up with plenty of room in the back seat. This is with the front seat pushed all the way back, which won't be how I need it to drive.
I hired a boy model to test out the legroom.

For sure a boy... Let me know if you need a man model.
PS - Thanks for keeping the southern truck theme going shirtless. Please leave the rebel flags and lower back tats off. |

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Your truck is looking really good. Are there any other reasons that you added the plywood other than mounting the Air ride stuff? Any advantages having it back there?

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
It also makes for a really flat smooth looking surface. I hot glued the carpet to it which helps it hang smooth and tight.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
I'm not sure what's up with ACC. I work in the same town they are located in (Anniston, Alabama) and visited them on numerous occassions and they are not very helpful. You'll probably have better luck getting help from the distributor you got the carpet from if you are trying to get it swapped.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Very nice build, I just looked at the whole thing in one sitting, very informative.
Since you are using the stock rear seat and I saw you mount the hooks to your back wall and saw that you carpeted the rear and mounted some of you air ride back there .. I wanted to see if you knew about the mod to not only make your rear seat flip up but also fold down. All you have to do is take a little off the hook on the seat. The seat works exactly like it did stock when down, it does not flip forward. To flip it forward you lift the bottom slightly and then the back of the seat will fold down. Keep up the good work! ![]() ![]() |
