molded or seamed from chevyduty?

ACC (Auto Custom Carpets Inc.)
http://www.accmats.com/
That is where mine and Yank's came from. Stitched around the outer edges. Formed to fit the hump perfectly, and has a heel pad molded in (or at least mine did). Give them a look. I love mine. I would suggest cut-pile vs. loop.

Yes ...it fit perfectly and looks 100% stock...with a nice thick insulation pad attached to it underneath.

I think the place that putter got his from is who most (if not all) vendors use for carpets? I got mine from BROTHERS and they use ACC. It was nice, not in the truck yet though, I bought it when they had a sale, still won't be in for a couple of months. They have a folded over thingy around the edges and are stitched up together. It also has the padding like putter mentioned. see pics

ACC here as well. Good fit and quality--price was good too, 109 shipped if I recall.

Yep, I've also got one from ACC via Wes at Classic Heartbeat although mines red.

HeavyD · 05-17-2006, 12:30 PM

I have used ACC and it fits great, but the black ones I have had all faded to a purple where the floor heat exits. Maybe I just got a bad run or something, but I was surprised it didn't last more than 2 years. If a person lives in a climate where the heater is used little, maybe this isn't an issue.

I have used ACC, Trim Parts, and NPI and all were about the same- A little too wide!. I like the cut pile myself.

I have ACC - got it at a discount from a local company.
I love it. Black loop is tough to keep clean though.

ChevyDude · 05-17-2006, 06:50 PM

Mine looks identical to that so I'm suspecting Chevyduty uses ACC too.

chevydog66 · 05-17-2006, 07:42 PM

I called Chevy Duty, Year One, and someone else today and no one has a light Saddle or Sandalwood in stock, and LMC wants $180 shipped, ouch! I emailed GMC Pauls. I need it by next week, because I am installing 02 Chevy Tahoe heated leather seats in my 72 GMC. Any ideas? What is the link for Classic Heartbeat?

ACC also coats the backside of their padded carpet sets with a laytex coating that is thermobonded to the back of the carpet to increase insulating and sound deadening. Better water resistence to rot, as well.

Just installed 04' Leather heater full power seats. Make a template for the holes, and get to drilling...I would do the drilling prior to putting the carpet in.

What are you going to do with the gas tank hole in the cab?
