Have you removed your gas tank and can't find carpet to cover? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Tim Christian** · 09-30-2003, 11:11 PM

Well I have a set we are going to test fit it in the morning in my own truck and I will take pictures. I will be able to get this in any color and style. Also it is molded with juke backing. Let me do the test fit and if all goes well I will give you guys a special price and will be taking orders.We have been working hard on this.Thanks Tim

This will run all the way back to the cab! I hope!

What about a "rear wall" carpet cover? It would cover the entire rear wall, from floor to bottom of rear window and from door to door ...

Shane, I think that is what he is doing. I also would be very interested if you offer it, especially if I can get it to match the factory sadle colored carpet. Keep us posted.

**Tim Christian** · 10-01-2003, 10:47 PM

Here is a few pictures showing the extra carpet. You actually will have to trim the rocker area and at the back of the cab a little bit. But it does fit and look great. The best part is it does go all the way to the back of the cab. You do not have to peice it together like on ACC's carpet.

**Tim Christian** · 10-01-2003, 10:48 PM

another.

**Tim Christian** · 10-01-2003, 10:48 PM

Well I am interested too. Does it fit as well as you hoped?
Let us know.
Thanks

**Tim Christian** · 10-01-2003, 11:01 PM

Yes it does. It has the juke backing and the heel pad. They did not have the dimmer switch groment in the box though. I am going to check on that in the morning. I will also post the Special price in the morning with shipping. Thanks Tim

padreisla · 10-02-2003, 12:01 AM

I am also interested, I am getting ready to remove my tank and do the same thing, I am no carpet man, and figured that it would not look right if I tried to do it. So I wait for the price and colors.

Thanks....Joey

71-longbed · 10-02-2003, 03:26 AM

how did you mold the carpet around the hump and still make it look good ??? just curious ....

Jwill41 · 10-02-2003, 10:58 AM

I bought the molded carpet just like that from "Earl Owens Co" in downtown Dallas several years ago. It also went all the way to the back. Looks good.

Yellow Cheyenne · 10-02-2003, 11:37 AM

OK, it's not what I thought he was describing. It appears to cover the entire floorboard. Will you have a piece to match that covers the inside back of the cab from the rear of the floorboard up to the bottom of the rear window?

Thanks,

Randy

70 longbed · 10-02-2003, 11:39 AM

Tim,

I'm with Shane in the rear wall carpet. You can count me in your first batch of sales.

72MARIO · 10-02-2003, 12:15 PM

I would also be interested. The ACC carpet fit isnt too good EH ?

Yellow Cheyenne · 10-02-2003, 01:16 PM

Just to be clear, I would like to get both the complete floor covering and a piece to cover the rear wall.

RShaips · 10-02-2003, 08:29 PM

Me Too !

padreisla · 10-02-2003, 10:42 PM

Count me in, I need it for the floor and back wall.

Joey

c10crazy · 10-02-2003, 10:42 PM

I ordered a molded N.P. I. brand a few years ago from JC Whitney that had jute backing and went all the way back. Fit like a glove.

**Tim Christian** · 10-02-2003, 11:12 PM

Hey Guys, It does come with the grommet for the dimmer switch just did'nt send me one with the test fit sample. This is not ACC carpet but I have put them both side by side and the quality of this carpet is just as good if not better. I can get any color and any style(cut-loop or cut-pile) It does have Juke backing and is pre molded. It will be Monday before we get the price worked out. I will post a price that does include shipping anywere in the US. Also will be offering to kinds the one I test fitted that you do have to trim a little at the back of the cab and at the door sill plates. Also one just like ACC sells pre cut but won't go all the way back to the cab. We are also talking about the carpet for the back of the cab. I will let you all know. Thanks Tim

72MARIO · 10-05-2003, 09:30 PM

Monday is tommorow.

Now you don't have to dig back a bunck of pages to find the post.

**Tim Christian** · 10-05-2003, 09:49 PM

Thanks Mario! I also had it bookmarked!

Custom 68 · 10-06-2003, 08:59 AM

Well I was watching Trucks this weekend and Stacy was doing Copperhead interior. He stretched out the carpet and guess what... It was short he said you just needed to go to the carpet shop get a strip and glue it in. Well guess what Tim he will be wanting one too.
