Is all carpeting alike? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**70cst** · 12-08-2008, 09:29 AM

Ok...I am lookng for my Carpeting that I bought and stored a number of years ago. So far no luck. If I do need to buy new carpeting...is the carpeting sold by our Vendors all the same quality? Since my truck will becoming out of a twelve month resto...cheap is not what I have in mind. Yes I want competitive priced carpet if I have to buy but cheap qulaity is not what I am looking for. Sooooo who makes the better quality carpeting? Thanks

Mine is from ACC....Auto Custom Carpets. It used to be advertised as "Jack Holland's Auto Custom Carpets", but he sold it. I put some in my '67 Firebird, back in '83. It fit well and looked good. What I have (yet to install) for my '69 is also from ACC.

I used ACC in my 71 and have replaced it once already! It fades and does not hold its color very well- before you say well driving, sun, etc.- it is in garage 24-7 and covered, has less than 500 total miles since restoration completed in Dec.2002 blah blah blah. Stay away from them as it does not hold up very well at all. I am using trim parts carpet in the 4x4 and we shall see how it does. But IMO ACC is not very good quality carpet. Harold

Any other experiences with carpet???

I've got ACC's carpet in my 69 K20. It is their charcol graphite or something like that. I've had zero fade and I know for sure as I have the seats out right now. However, it just isn't outside too much so I would be surprised if it had faded. Seems to be holding up very well but the truck only gets driven about once a week when it is driveable. Hasn't been driveable since March though. I put the carpet in in about May of 2005.
