Carpeting question ... sorta

[barryvanhook]

I'm in the process of gathering the stuff needed to redo my interior, hoping to get it all together for a quick and massive thrash .. just so it isn't off the road for any time. The gas tank has been relocated to the rear. I have seen the carpet pieces that cover the in-cab tank, but I want to carpet the cab wall area behind the seat ... I haven't been able to find a carpet product for that specific application. I want to do this myself without leaving it at a shop, so buying matching yardage might seem to be an answer,but I don't have a way to finish the edges. Anyone have a suggestion or a source for a ready-made product?

Thanks much!

check with a local carpet company or upholstery shop some for a small fee will bind the cut edges of a carpet if you cut it to fit and bring it in to them, or they'd know who to send you to that does that type work

if you look at my build what I did was cut a cheap sheet of paneling (get a damaged sheet) I then cut it to fit the back of the cab ....get yourself some carpet ( I used black and my floor is brown because I could find anyting that matched and I like it) use 3m ahesive spray it and then roll the carpet over the edge ab0out 1" or so then I put a couple screws though it into the ribs NOT THOUGH THE SHEET METAL CAB

Check with a carpet store for a product called insta-bind. Then you can bind it yourself. It is easy. I have been a carpet installer for almost 38 years.
