Cut Pile Carpet Kits? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Quickshift-Perf · 02-08-2011, 03:03 PM

Hey guys, new to the forum and I love all the information on here.

I did a quick search on this and didn't come up with anything.

I'm looking for a carpet kit for my newly acquired 68' C10. I would like to get the newer style cut-pile carpet material but I'm not having a lot of luck finding it. Mainly coming across the original loop-style carpeting. I know from experience that carpet kits are sort of hit/miss as far as quality and full floor coverage goes. I'd like full floor coverage under the seat to the gas tank. Any carpet kits out there that can fit this bill without costing 200.00 or more? Any kits that I should avoid at all costs?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

We do custom orders. We have sold many cut pile carpets and a large variety of colors for these trucks. WES

Any personal experience with these guys? I checked out their website but it doesn't mention full-floor coverage. Prices weren't too bad though.

What's the difference between cut-pile and loop style?

Loop style is the original style carpet from the 60's early 70's. The factory started using the more plush style cut pile carpeting around the late 70's (I think) and is what you'll find in modern cars. IMO, the cut pile is just a much nicer carpet for a driver.

we can do cut/pile and even plush for full floor with tank removed. Not all the same colors are available in both if going any color other than black

Looking for a molded carpet and I don't think most upholstery shops do that sort of thing. Eventually the truck will have bucket seats so there will be some exposed areas in-between the seats, hence the reason for wanting full floor coverage front to back.

Wes can you post any pics of your sample in cut pile? I'm interested in changing out my original also...

$139 plus shipping on cut/pile, $175 plus shipping on essex/plush

To any and all vendors: Pics would rock also a color chart of what all is available in either type. Do all of these cover the area left when removing the tank?

Not to hijack the thread but I'm interested in a tan/fawn that is cut/pile or plush that will cover the entire floor and tank void. Also looking for bulk material for kick panels and rear wall in the same color/type.

I just installed essex black carpet from ACC. Fits perfect. I would buy from them again.

color charts are only a general idea of color since actual color can vary from from chip and from different dye lots. To make sure the carpet covers the tank area floor it has to be requested to ensure that area is included. Trim Parts virtual catalog online shows colors available, and we can usually match the factory color pretty close in the upgraded carpets. Yes you can get bulk material with the carpet and must be ordered at same time to ensure correct dye lot coloring
