ACC Carpet 1954
I bought a new Auto Custom Carpet from National Parts Depot. I bought the full floor carpet, because I have newer seats in the truck and have removed the welded in seat frame. When I put the carpet in in seemed to not fit correctly. When I had the taper of the carpet fitting with the taper of the cab, it was around 3"-4" short by the fuel tank. When I pulled the carpet back to the fuel tank lower brace, the carpet was 1 1/2" +- to narrow on both side of the floor. Am I doing something wrong or do I need to buy the carpet that is for a removed tank even though my tank is still in the cab. Any help would be great.

I bought the full floor also, just arrived yesterday. I'll see how it goes when I get around to installing mine.

Finally got around to installing the carpet and its a big disappointment. It's too short & leaves part of the firewall padding exposed. I would have come out buying some from Lowes or Home Depot!

I bought the ACC carpet (Daytona weave) for my '55/2 but I bought it in bulk since I have a custom console. |
Re: ACC Carpet 1954
I bought mine from National Parts Depot. I did call them and they did not have any answers other than to return the carpet. I also called ACC so i could speak with the tech department, however they do not have a tech department according to the person I spoke with. I ended up using the carpet and working around the carpets deficiencies to make it look as good as possible. Needless to say I was very disappointed.

Found my receipt and realized it came from Stock Interiors. I did call them and they asked me to send a picture. Excuse the dust & wires, it’s a work in progress.

This was their response:
“Hello Robert Clayborn, It appears that the carpet is correct. There should be a rubber firewall insulator pad that would cover the exposed area. If you no longer have this piece we do offer extra yardage in the same color. Thank you for your patience and your business! Sincerely, Tabatha Stock Interiors” |

Below is how much to narrow the carpet was on both side of the cab floor. Needless to say I was disappointed with the fitment.

67z28, I guess I don't understand why you installed that carpet. I would have been on the phone, but hey, that's just me... -Bob

I did call National Parts and ACC and neither had any kind of answer. Sometimes it's just easier to fix the problem. |
