I just installed ACC carpet for my 70 GMC. Almost a perfect fit. Very happy with the results.

But to your question of where to purchase. I got mine from RockAuto. Their price was about 45% off of the prices listed on ACC website.

Thanks

FirstOwner69 is correct. The carpet does not have a hole for the dimmer switch. You have to cut the hole and use the provided grommet. Measure 3-4 times and cut once.

Ok, I'm a fanatic about bone stock interiors, but, vidman, that is beautiful. Wow.

I have ACC with backing and it fits very well and the best price I could find was through RockAuto then I found a coupon code for them which took off another 10%

I don't know which carpet i got thru Wes at classic heartbeat but it had the dinner hole and a plastic type grommet on the hole.

Vidman your interior is beautiful! Do you have any more pics posted up?

I had planned on using the ACC 'Essex' line in my truck, and they are really cool about sending samples too and super nice on the phone. If I can get a fit & finish anywhere close to what you did, I'll be happy.

My son Chad used ACC Carpet in his truck and it fit really nice. We used Cool It Thermo Tec sound deader/heat barrier from Summit Racing.

This Question is for anyone who knows and may help the OP--

Is the mass backed carpet difficult to install? Does it conform to the shape of the floor well? It seems like it would be stiff and difficult to make it lay flat.

Thanks,

In my case, the mass-backed stuff went down easy. It's fitted to the shape of the floor so it's meant to conform to all the contours. This is why it's important to order the correct carpet for the application.

Hth,

I looked up stock interiors which allows me to order everything plus the extra yardage for the back wall.

kit to the back wall with massbacking, two yards of 80/20 and kick panels,
$283

but they want $140 for shipping

Rockauto, only sells the carpet i need the yardage for the w/o gastank

I used the mass backed version from RockAuto. As stated above, it is pre-formed to the floor and fit well. They do recommend that you unfold it and place it in a warm environment for a few days to get the fold marks out. Placing it in the sun may also help. The ACC website has some very helpful installation videos.
