Carpeted kick panels

Can anyone recommend a good source? I bought some once from Rock Auto, and they didn't cover the kick panel area well - leaving gaps where the white painted metal showed - didn't fit as expected along the bottom.. with the black interior interior pieces (cab inside is white), I would like to match. Thanks, all.

Confirms my suspicion no company makes a decent one?

Re: Carpeted kick panels

My local upholstery guy makes them cheaper (and nicer) than the repop panels available.

I wonder if your source would produce and ship them? I had door panels made and the price was really high, so I'm hesitant to ask them

Re: Carpeted kick panels

I'm going to make my own, and I will take a few pics to post when I have them to my satisfaction.. will probably wrap them in black vinyl instead of carpet.

Re: Carpeted kick panels

I bought a set from LMC Truck 6/7 years ago but have never taken out of the box. I'll do that and see how they fit.

Re: Carpeted kick panels

My truck had those when I purchased it. I found they were holding both moisture and water so I immediately pulled them.

Of course, as you know if you have any leaks, or moisture in the cab these will accelerate any issues growing.

Getting rid of mine was the best thing to do.
