Carpet for the truck.

3ontree66 · Post by **3ontree66** » December 10, 2010, 12:54 pm

So I'm looking at buying some carpet for the truck from ebay. The seller lists that it fits from 1965 to 1972. Is this correct, are the floor pan design all the same. Just want to know before I buy non-refundable product.

Also, has anyone here had luck with buying carpet, any recomendations??

I have an Auto Custom Carpet brand.
Used but was new in box, I haven't put it in the truck yet but am very impressed with the quality of it - just can't speak for the fit yet.
You can "make" a carpet with some bathroom or indoor/outdoor carpet and a rubber hammer too.

Thanks guys as always.

This ebay guy seems to have very positive feedback as to the quality of his stuff so I'll give it a shot. Also, He has the Turquoise color I want. I'll report on the fit & quality if anyone wants to know.

Actually Chris, I'm also thinkin about a rubber mat too but thought I'd go with carpet this time around. It's cushier just in case I get the hankerin to drive around with bare feet like Alan

Ask if you can get a sample of the carpet before you buy, the Caribbean Turquoise is a hard color to match. My N series truck is that color and I was at a friends trim shop looking for some carpet. He had lots of samples and I picked out about four different samples of turquoise that I though would work. Of the four samples I picked one very one that I thought was least likely to work was the right one. Remember that the Caribbean turquoise favors the green a lot more then the blue.

you know, i found that having an upholstery shop custom fit whatever kind of carpet you want isn't much more than what you pay for the stock 'kits' themselves.

i'd rather pay the little extra for a great fit than a little less for an "ok" or "not even close" fit.

Auto Custon Carpets are always a perfect fit, you can't go wrong with them. I used ACC carpets in both my N and the Ranger. For the N, I ordered the carpet for a 64 model as the floor pans are identical, I just had to cut out the middle for the dog house and the hole for the shifter.

These guys are an ACC dealer in Edmonton. Had good luck with them. Might save you some shipping and duty hassles

I got my ACC carpet from Classic Performance in Calgary:

The carpet is a quality piece in my opinion.

There is a difference in the 2WD 65-72 cab floors. If originally equipped w/ a C6 auto, the transmission tunnel is taller (~7" vs ~4"). Any decent vendor will ask when you order.
