types of carpet

[jonesky2]

Getting ready to order carpet from acc and was wondering what are the differences? There is loop, cutpile, and 80/20. Im looking for carpet like they put in newer cars. Something comfortable as this is going to be my daily driver

The plush cut pile is similar to what the new car interiors use.

I would get the loop, since it seems more durable.
Also, I highly recommend getting it with the "Mass backing".
It really helps with cutting down the noise and heat.

I also highly recommend the loop over the cut pile. The loop is what came in our trucks, and I believe holds up better to abuse. I special ordered a custom color (sandalwood) from ACC for my Blazer and am very pleased with the quality and fit.

i just put the ACC in my 71. Black loop fit great.

I've always used ACC but there was a thread a while back that said Trim Parts carpet is better since the owners of ACC were killed in that plane crash. Just sayin.

I would also use the Trim Parts over ACC carpet. I called ACC and asked them if their carpet is uv treated and they told that it wasn't . That's a huge problem if your going to have your top off a lot . I also contacted TrimParts and they said their carpets are treated.. Trim Parts is more expensive but a nicer product.

I just emailed Trim Parts and the response I recieved is that they have carpet for a 75 blazer. Mine is a 70, does anyone know if that will fit? Thanks.

I know for a fact they have it. Mine is a 72 and I put TrimParts kit in mine. I would call them directly. There has been few other members on here that has put their kits in their 1st generations..
