Carpet Group Purchase

[Jim85IROC]

Carpet is pre-molded, but it does not have the cutouts for seat bolts, seat belt studs, and that sort of stuff. It's up to the buyer/installer to cut those holes, but they're very easy to cut. You can feel seat studs through the carpet when you lay it down, and you just slit it with a razor, and then push it down around the stud. For threaded holes, just thread the bolt in a few turns before you lay the carpet and follow the same process. Minor trimming around the perimeter and around console & shifter openings will be necessary, but is very easy with a razor blade. By having the carpet a tad oversized, it insures that you'll be able to get a better fit.

Prices for all trucks and blazers should be on my website that is linked in my first post. Here's the link again:

If you can't find your vehicle on that list, please PM me and I'll get you your price.

Thanks.

On the price list for a Blazer, when it lists "complete" is that referring to the floor area, or does that include rear side panels and/or kick panels? thanks

[Jim85IROC]

That's the floor area. The blazer carpet is available for just the passenger area, or for the entire floor.

I need black for my 72 2wd low hump.

[70Chevy4x4Nut]

Jim,
Does the carpet come with any jute padding? I see the carpet is on some sort of plastic backing and was wondering about the warranty as well.

Thanks

[Jim85IROC]

The carpet comes with jute padding. A "mass backing" which is basically the OEM rubber style is also available, though most people don't bother because it's heavy, and really offers very little benefit for the additional cost (around $60 extra).

Warranty is 90 days.

Thanks

Premium, black for '71 C20 low hump please.

[hedges]

Jim,
I sent you a couple of emails about my 64 c20 pickup with a high hump (standard transmission) and you asked me to post here.
So here ya go.

thanks,
Dan

[Green Monster]

Count me in.
72 Blazer 4WD (high hump)
100% Nylon
Olive Green
Full Set
4 Piece Floor Mats

Does the full set include the carpet over the wheel humps?
Do the edges have the factory style vinyl binding?
Can the embroidery be done in the same color as the carpet?

I would like color swatches before my final decision on color. I'll PM you.

[Jim85IROC]

PM's answered.

I was going to close this by midnight tonight, but since I'm going to be out of town all weekend, we'll keep it open until Monday at 5:00 PM Eastern. I've got a couple questions I need to ask the manufacturer about the large vs. small transmission hump, as well as a few questions that various individuals asked. I want to make sure I have good, accurate answers before I ask for anybody's money.

Right now the plan is to close this up on Monday, and give 1 week from then for payments to arrive. Paypal will be the easiest and fastest, but I can also take money orders. Due to the time involved, I can't take a check because it may not have time to clear before I place the order.

Monday night or Tuesday I'll post the list of final participants with their balance due, as well as final answers to various questions.

Thanks

Hi - I am interested in a blck premium cut pile for a '71 low hump, but I also need matching carpet for kick panels. Do they have kits for the kick panels and or door bottoms or are additional matching pieces avail?

How much to we anticipate shipping to be? and can they beo shipped via USPS?

Thanks,

[Jim85IROC]

IMPORTANT INFORMATION!

I called the manufacturer to clear up a couple details. Some of these may impact your decision to buy, so please read!

1. The carpet for the 67-72s is modeled off a 4wd floor pan, which I believe is the "big" transmission hump. On the small hump trucks, it should still fit, but because I'm not an expert with that generation truck, I really can't say for sure what problems you may have. I've had some fairly poor fitting carpet in the past (when I sold ACC), and I found that once it's all installed, you really can't tell that it wasn't a perfect fit, but without having installed these into this generation truck, I really can't say for sure what it'll be. Remember that once you buy it, you own it (no refunds on custom made carpets). If some of you guys with the 2wd trucks don't want to commit to the carpet, I completely understand. For those of you who do not wish to buy the carpet, please PM me to tell me so, or let me know when I send you a PM with your total balance due. My apologies for any inconveniences this might cause.

2. The "complete" blazer carpet includes the pieces that go over the rear wheel humps.

Gazoo,
They don't have custom cut kick panel carpet, but they do sell bulk carpet that you can cut to fit. The bulk carpet is relatively inexpensive, around $18/foot.

Shipping will be $20 for "smaller" carpet sets including all trucks, and $25 for all "larger" sets, like the complete Blazer sets.

USPS is probably available, but is typically more expensive for packages this size.

Jim,
I'm pretty sure you can count me in. It will be for a 4wd and be the premium style. Need to get the final ok from wife and need to finalize on a color. I will contact you before monday to let you know.

Thanks

[Longhorn Man]

If the Blazer carpet is only 4X4 then I'll have to pass this time.
thanks - Simon

[Gazoo]

Thx Jim - I guess I'll have to pass as well then - but thx for the updated information - excellent communication on this one btw...

Cheers,

[greenhorn male]

I may pass on this as well, depending on what members here say about possible issues with a low hump.

[70Chevy4x4Nut]

Count me in if it's not too late. I will PM you later.

My apologies for not replying sooner. I did check, and the loop carpet is not available for the 91. The cut pile and the premium cut pile are the only options available.

Kurt, I don't recall you ever specifiying what colors you wanted, nor an address to send them to. If you can let me know what you want and where to send it, I'll get it right out.

Thanks

This comes up to 22 guys. Previous experience tells me that we won't actually get 20 or more guys that pay within the period, but I'll honor the 20-29 buyer pricing.

What I need from everybody who intends to buy (here's your last chance if you haven't decided yet or if I missed you in the list above) to email me at jim85iroc@yahoo.com with the title "Carpet Group Purchase, Forum Name" in the title. Obviously, replace "forum name" with your forum name. In the email, I need your full name, your full vehicle description (year, make, model, standard/extra/crew cab, 4x4 or 4x2), carpet style and color desired, plus any extras (floor mats, or bulk carpet), your shipping address, and how you intend to pay (paypal, check, money order). I will reply with your total balance due, and where to send the payment.

All payments must be received no later than tuesday, May 29 at Midnight. If you intend to pay by check or money order instead of paypal, I highly suggest you email me ASAP so that it can get into the mail as soon as possible. Your carpet will not be ordered until the check clears.

Thanks guys!

[greenhorn male]

Oh what the heck, since you counted me...I'M IN. I'll just pump up my hump.
I want the loop in Dark olive green. Paying with paypal. Is it $129.19 total?

[Jim85IROC]

Greenhorn,
I didn't intentionally include anybody who didn't want to be, so I hope you don't feel obligated to be involved, but if you've changed your mind and decided to be in, go ahead and send me that email and I'll get your total for you. I'm having everybody do it through email because I'll never be able to keep track of everybody if some come in PMs, some are on the board, and some are in my email. By funnelling them all through the same place, it'll make my life much easier.

Thanks
--Jim
