Carpet for 66 Suburban

Hey guys, I have been searching around for carpet for my 1966 Suburban. It looks like the cutoff is 1967. Does anyone know of a source for carpet. I have even considered getting 1966 pickup carpet for the front and then find matching carpet for the back. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Some of the companies that sell carpet kits will also sell you that same carpet by the yard so you could buy the pick up carpet and yardage to finish you sub.

Get an upholstery shop to do the whole thing at once and then you know it fits.

Re: Carpet for 66 Suburban

keep in mind the front truck carpet doesnt have the passenger side flat section that the suburban has so it might look funky on that side.
