Carpet

[56 Hauler]

Can anyone recommend a supplier for a good quality carpet kit to install myself ? I have a 65 pick up, Thanks for any advice

I used Stock Interiors -- http://www.stockinteriors.com. Couldn't be happier. Good quality, easy to install, etc.

Carpet looks good! How much was it?

I bought the full vinyl floor mat for my truck instead of carpet, but I also purchased from stockinteriors.com and was very pleased with the purchase. They sent exactly what I ordered and offered excellent order tracking and communications. If I ever switch to carpet I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from them.

I don't remember exactly, but $139 is sticking out in my mind. I actually bought it through Amazon.com because I had a gift card I could use. Look on their website, all the pricing is there.

Did you get the mass backing? I'm ready to order and torn whether I should upgrade to that.

Before you install the carpet (or full vinyl floor) be sure and sound insulate your cab and add insulation. I did this with products from Home Depot and it makes all the difference in the world in the sound levels inside the cab. cost was about $ 2.50 per sq ft. Here are some pictures..

Here is a picture of the full rubber mat being installed, and after this we put a stock regular floor mat down to keep the look stock......

The insulation and sound deadening will cost more than the carpet but the combination of both will make your truck as quiet as a church mouse.....

used 2 different products:

1. butyl rubber with alum like (dynamat) I could not find the stuff we used on the floor but will go by tonight and look, it was something like this but with aluminum on 1 side and glue on the other



2. Frigiking closed cell foam insulation with alum back

I think it's called Peel and Seal or Quick Roof. Works great, I've done a few sets of doors with it and the difference in noise is very noticeable.

I put the same stuff in mine as Kieth and astronaut, works great. Was for roof flashing, IIRC-like for in between two different roof surfaces. Best improvement was behind the door panels.

Alright...Another question...How did you use both of the products? Did you put one over the other? More details please. I have a carpet kit but have been waiting to put it down until I get this done...You also said it cost you about 2.50 a square foot. How many square foot of material did you use? Thanks,

Hey kcsa75,

Is your throttle pedal mounted like that from the factory? Meaning on a swing instead of to the floor. I want to install a swing type pedal in my '64 instead of the stock floor pivot but don't want some fancy aftermarket thingamajig either. Just want a factory looking and functioning swing away pedal.

Anyone know what I could use?

Markeb01's mod is the best one I've seen using the 71-72 pedal assembly. As always, his detail is second to none.

I put the sound deadner down first, sealed it with silver tape, then put the insulation over that. I think the whole project cost about $200.00 but it is worth the expense. .....Could not get by home depot will try and do it today...

i USED THE STOCK ONE but you could grab one out of a 91 burb or a 87 pickup, they do not attach to the floor.......Kieth
