Carpet

OK guys you are my best asset for finding the best carpet for my truck. I am looking for a nice rug at a good price but i would rather spend a little more for a nicer rug. I would love to see what you have for a rug and why you like it.
The color i am looking at is red and it's for my 56. Thanks for every ones help!



Thanks Ray

Re: Carpet

just a note, stockinteriors and ACCMats are the same company, but sometimes one has a color/pile option or even a sale the other doesnt! SHHH! dont tell everyone. I have bought from both (for the reason above) and they are great.

Re: Carpet

I used commercial grade loop pile with synthetic jute backing. The edging is a product that sticks to the back, then you use a hot glue gun to seal between the edge and carpet on the exposed side.

That came out really nice..... is the edging hard to put on?

Re: Carpet

I haven't bought carpet yet. But, last time I looked into this, Rockauto had good prices on ACC.
