Re: Carpet Kit
Trust me, all carpet kits are NOT the same. Some of them are poor quality, poor fitment, and a hassle to put in.
The kits from ACC are the best made. Let Captkaos take care of you and get carpet that you will be pleased with.

Re: Carpet Kit
The ACC carpet I sell has the jute padding for the front portion of the carpet.

Re: Carpet Kit
Just getting a chance to respond now. I ordered the ACC carpet kit from Summit Racing. It says padding included. S'posed to be here in a couple of weeks as they don't make it until ordered. I'll update w/ pics and rating.

Re: Carpet Kit
If you ordered from me it would have been there in about 5-7 days based on your location and $33 cheaper than summit, if you included shipping it would have been $13 cheaper than their listed price. They are already pre-made, even if they were drop shipped.... Either way you won't be disappointed...

Re: Carpet Kit
The ACC is a sure bet. Why did not buy from Chris? We need to support our own vendors. Plus you would have gotton the carpet faster and cheaper as Chris said.

Re: Carpet Kit
If all goes well on my tranny swap, so that I can finally drive the truck and work on improvment over nessacary crap, I'll order one.
I hope to redo the whole interior and some exterior work also on the 86 4x4. I need new carpet for sure, and would like to get some of the aluminum sill plates instead of one piece plastic, then order me a dash pad, maybe just a cover, and recover my bench or something. Dunno what else interior wise LOL. I'll be ordering from Chris since he's cheaper then summit. I thought they were the cheapest but i guess not.

Re: Carpet Kit
I bought the Auc 2711 from summit for 112.64 shipped, and I was surprised to get it today. It has the padding under the front side. It will work for what I need, but I think there may be another level up that I could/would have bought from chris. Now that I know, i'll try and do business through you. I will need a good dash pad soon.

Re: Carpet Kit
Just a thought...you might look into cancelling the Summit order right now and get it from Chris for faster delivery and a better price. If they deliver in a few weeks and he's good a week at a better price, well the math would seem to work IMHO.
