New carpet and seats progress - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

daman18 · 04-06-2008, 05:42 AM

I have new seats going in my truck so i figured it would be a good time for new carpet as well as some good sound deadening material. So here is some random pics of my progress as i get it finished in the next week or so.

nice!! that will really deadin some sound!! was it pretty easy to be in, is it sticky on the bottom?

**old Rusty C10** · 04-06-2008, 06:37 AM

dont know if you posted when you got here but how about pics of the rest of the truck?

sjarrett71 · 04-06-2008, 06:49 AM

Welcome to the board. More pics would be great. By the way, what state are you from?

CAMAROSS · 04-06-2008, 07:18 AM

Yeah, how easy was it? I have the twin to your truck and just ordered my carpet. Looks like a clean installation.

daman18 · 04-06-2008, 04:03 PM

The sound deadener took about 5 hours to do and that is just the floorpan. It's gets pretty difficult to get all the corners and dips in these thingsbut i'm srue it'll be worth it when there is no rattles from the exhaust. It is adhesive on one side so once its there its not moving. Here is a couple pics of the whole truck and the seats going in and i'll post progress as i complete the project over the next couple weeks or so. I'm in central Arkansas

what did you use for the sound deadener? Very nice looking truck.

Looks great man congrats!!!

daman18 · 04-06-2008, 05:24 PM

it's called fatmat. It will take 100 sq. ft. by the time its all said and done. Two layers on the floorpan and one layer on door panels, up the back, headliner, and anywhere else i can put it.

CAMAROSS · 04-06-2008, 07:03 PM

Where can I get the "fatmat"?

daman02 · 04-06-2008, 08:17 PM

ebay

Country Cadillac · 04-06-2008, 09:01 PM

I'm guessing fatmat.com since it says that on it.

daman18 · 04-13-2008, 05:14 AM

Here are a few pics after i got the carpet, seats, and steering wheel put in.
i still have to finish the headliner and door panels but it's starting to come together.

hessian18 · 04-13-2008, 05:53 AM

Wow man looking nice...

I just got my carpet in today and also my sun visors....

Is your dash pad an original or is it a Cap ?? Im still debating of whether or not to cap my cracked dash pad or pony up and buy a new one...

What do you have planned for the door panels ?

DBLSPRT68 · 04-13-2008, 08:22 AM

WOW! That looks great!

daman18 · 04-13-2008, 08:58 AM

i just have a cap for now but i'm going to invest on the complete dash. My factory door panels will be black with new lower black carpet from lmc.

hessian18 · 04-13-2008, 09:52 AM

Are you unhappy with the cap ??

Im still contemplating whether or not to drop the 300 $ for a new dash....

Im sure once everything is in I will want the new dash LOL

killthewabbit · 04-13-2008, 04:00 PM

That is going to be one very nice interior. Those seats look great.

daman18 · 04-13-2008, 05:11 PM

No i don't like the cap. my dash was cracked up so the surface was uneven when i put it over the original dash. i will replace mine asap.

cochino12 · 04-13-2008, 06:21 PM

seats look great. Do they sit high? doesnt look like it

84 400 · 04-13-2008, 07:21 PM

Looks great. Those seats sure look nice.

daman18 · 04-13-2008, 10:24 PM

they are little higher than stock bench but only maybe an inch or so. The biggest thing i see about them that could pose a problem is if you are over 6 ft tall they won't go back very far unless the seat is straight up and down because the top of the seat will hit the window. Luckily for me i'm not that tall so it suits me fine.

killthewabbit · 04-14-2008, 05:17 AM

Oooo, bummer. Me = too tall. Good to know now, though.
