rear carpet and insulation ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Looking for ideas on carpet or a fake bed floor and insulation without drilling a bunch of holes in the floor. I Have a 78 blazer 2 wheel lowered with a BB motor and trying to keep the noise out. Not much in the 78 blazer section. I would like to do the old station wagon carpet and chrome strips but thinking how I can do that with insulation carpet ,chrome strips and trying to keep it flat and look nice and again without drilling a bunch of holes. I don,t know if a sheet of plywood would hold up over top of the insulation with carpet on top and strips screwed into the plywood with the different changes in weather.I f someone could point me to some threads on this on this section of the forum or got some ideas. thanks

Why not wrap the carpet around your plywood base? If it's cut to fit fairly tight, it should sit still pretty well.
