vettespeed Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Does anybody know if someone offers a carpet kit for a Datsun 520 pickup. This guy has a 1966 520 for sale in SF, exact truck I have and I noticed what appears to be a molded carpet over the transmission tunnel. Anybody know what this is? He claims he got the truck that way and thought it was stock. He said on either side of the tunnel it's just carpeted floor mats. Where do I get carpet for my truck? Thanks, Mike.

DatWifey Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 You can get rolls of carpet at auto places like O'reilly's, and then do some cutting and massaging or stitching for the contours. Our 521 came with carpet in it as well, that the prior owner made some cuts and stitches in. Quote Link to comment
alabama_lowlife Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 My 521 has carpet like that but it is completely worn out in every possible way. I'd love to replace it. Quote Link to comment

Jayden71 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 I just took some left over carpet my buudy had after carpeting a house and molded shaped and put it in. Been in there for 3 years now Quote Link to comment

zed1 Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 zippy67520, Did you receive the carpet kit? Is it well made? Did it require a lot of trimming? Keith Quote Link to comment

dave71 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 so how did that carpet kit from JcWhitney work out? Quote Link to comment
zed1 Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Anyone have an update to the JCW carpet experience? Keith Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 I have one of their carpet sets, front and back, in my RL411 for about 20 years. Great fit and authentic factory appearance, texture and color. Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 There is no STOCK carpet in a 520, or a 521. They has vinyl floor mats, that trapped dirt and water underneath them, and this is why so many 521 trucks have rusted out floors. Every 521 carpet kit is aftermarket. Quote Link to comment
