New carpet finally!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**rideblue00** · 01-13-2014, 01:08 PM

I finally got some new carpet. I bought some from Stockinteriors.com. I also got their "mass backing" feature. It is molded to the floor almost perfect. I really like how it fit! It fit fine at the firewall side, had about 2 at the rear and about 3" overhang at the doors. I trimmed it to fit nicely at the gas tank brackets. Now to put in the chrome sill plates. Oh, i paid 286 shipped i think, will have to double check. Super easy.

That looks great. I did the same thing in 2012. Couldn't be happier.

Great Job!

Awesome looking carpet. You must be really happy with that.

Looks Great! Almost a shame to cover it with seats.

Thanks for the compliments guys! It was super easy. I just have to cut a few slits for the pegs at the firewall side to keep it from shifting there. I only got one cut from my knife too, lol. I couldn't believe how well it was formed to the floor. That company did a good job. It came in an ACC box, so it could be a dropped shipped carpet from them. Not sure really. I can't find my shipper so not sure.

One thing to note: I kept this in my living room for 2 weeks spread out like it was going to lay on the cab floor. I even propped up the firewall side. This thing came all folded up, so it need a little R&R before working with. I took it to my 50* garage and didn't have much trouble with it. I was surprised.

It is heavy tho. I didn't use any kind of adhesive. I want to see if it will stay without it first. It has something called "Mass Backing" It seems to be a rubberlike surface. So we'll see how it works out. And it isn't too thick either.

Good news too! It was $210 shipped to my door. I highly recommend this to you guys. The part #373 at Stockinteriors.com. I have a low hump floor too.

Hey, Rideblue. What truck is this going in? Looks interesting. Is it the CC in your avatar?

**rideblue00** · 01-14-2014, 03:42 PM

Its just a 66 c10. My avatar pic is of an emblem that came from my gramps 66. Its all gone now, the cab on his was completely wasted. A victim of salt cancer. I have a 66 c20 that I thought I might turn into a CC, but I dont know. At the rate im going on the c10, it might not get done till after im dead, lol.

That hugs the tunnel much better than mine. Did it have a hole for the headlight switch?

**rideblue00** · 01-14-2014, 08:22 PM

It hugs the tunnel great. No there were no holes in it, so I have a few to put in.
