What is the best pre fit carpet to order - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

mgore68 · 02-11-2016, 04:02 PM

I need to order some new carpet and I want it to run all the way to the back of the cab. There seems to be a huge amount of suppliers and I have no idea who to fool with. Could some of you give me some advice on which kits fit best and will cover all the way to the back.

ACC (Auto Custom Carpets)

John H. · 02-11-2016, 08:57 PM

Stock interiors sells ACC on eBay including shipping. Pick your color and they offer extended carpet if the tank was removed.

High hump or low.

Malamute · 02-11-2016, 09:02 PM

I'm looking for carpet for my '69 and someone on the board had mentioned Rock Auto in a thread. They sell ACC and their prices were great. I haven't ordered yet but they have all options....high hump, low hum, gas tank, no tank, etc.

Dustytrix · 02-11-2016, 09:17 PM

I looked at some carpet from LMC installed in a truck. It looked good except to me it should have came farther up in front, it didnt even go to the top of gas pedal. Is that the way its supposed to fit?

The best I've ever seen is whatever it is that Wes (Classic Heartbeat) sells. Have purchased two from him, very satisfied. Don't know brand, he could tell you, but it's high quality and a great fit. http://www.classicheartbeat.com/ Oh, and he responds to emails, pm's, phone calls - more than I can say for most of the big box stores. Will continue to buy from him. Here's his carpet page too: http://www.classicheartbeat.com/interior2.htm

Another vote for ACC carpet. Here's a picture of my 67 with ACC carpet in the original Fawn color.

Whatever LMC sells, which is most likely ACC. I added the kickpanel carpet.

The floor carpet fit well. The tank carpet, if you happen to have buckets, was garbage (just bulk carpet, not formed, no rivets, etc...).

**Elliot949** · 02-11-2016, 10:32 PM

I got mine from Classic Parts of America and it fit like a glove...

OregonNed · 02-11-2016, 11:14 PM

ACC for sure. Very nice product that fit perfectly

mgore68 · 02-12-2016, 11:55 AM

Thanks guys. That is one of the next things on my to do list.

RMBLFSH · 02-12-2016, 02:44 PM

Any of you go with heat/sound deadening material underneath? Does the carpet fit over it OK? Does anyone make a pre-cut kit for this material? Is there a carpet kit that includes it?

Thanks

Rich

57larry · 02-12-2016, 02:56 PM

I've used ACC in a few cars & trucks, good fit

ACC is easy to install and good quaity. Save yourself the extra $100 on the mass backing and buy a can of adhesive and a roll of the backing and do it yourself. I had to add my own in some areas anyways as theirs did not completely cover the underside of the carpet. I added more on top of what they included and it made a big difference in heat from the engine.

www.gmcpauls.com sells the sound deadener kit that is exactly like original

Ochre Ogre · 02-12-2016, 07:54 PM

Does the ACC carpet have a hole cut and the piping around the dimmer switch? The pictures on their website do not show this.
Thanks

No. I don't think any of the brands does. Probably not desirable due to variations in position due to carpet placement. If I recall, it comes with a grommet for the hole as the original carpet came with.

vidman · 02-12-2016, 08:20 PM

ACC. Mine fits perfect. I ordered extra for the front and back..

**jocko** · 02-12-2016, 09:11 PM

Ok, I'm a fanatic about bone stock interiors, but, vidman, that is beautiful. Wow.

EA69TRK · 02-12-2016, 09:31 PM

I have ACC with backing and it fits very well and the best price I could find was through RockAuto then I found a coupon code for them which took off another 10%

FirstOwner69 is correct. The carpet does not have a hole for the dimmer switch. You have to cut the hole and use the provided grommet. Measure 3-4 times and cut once.

swamp rat · 02-13-2016, 03:26 AM

I don't know which carpet i got thru Wes at classic heartbeat but it had the dinner hole and a plastic type grommet on the hole.
