Telkwa Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Just wondering if anyone's paid for full replacement carpet from an outfit like ACC or StockInteriors.com, or others? I just started looking around so have no idea if there's a supplier that comes highly recommended. This would be for an '86 720 truck. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
DeviousPsycho620 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 I just ordered a full kit from jc Whitney. Under 100$. I'll let you know how good it is when it gets here. Quote Link to comment
Telkwa Posted March 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 OK, thanks, that would be great. Anyone else? Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 JCWhitney carpet kits are very good. The types of material available let you match just about any original carpet and color. I have a set in my RL411, they look factory except that the front is 3 piece, not a molded one piece, but the seam is OK with me, it's in the footwell area. Quote Link to comment
Telkwa Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Wow, two votes for JC. I've always had a poor impression of JC Whitney. Never actually bought anything from them, but I useta look through their catalogs way back in the '80's and most of their stuff seemed kind of flakey. Can either of you tell me which kits you bought? I did a quick browse last night and it appears they have several different suppliers. Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 A bonus on jcwhitney. Until midnight 18 March 20% off and free shipping. Use "stpd20" at checkout. Go to the listings under Custom fit carpets for imported cars and trucks, it's usually in the "Car Interior" section, not the interior accessories section. If not ordering from paper catalog, the part number sequence is [2 letters] 786xxx [letter]. Letters vary by date and catalog issue. The number part should hopefully let you pick the "almost factory" type I bought. I got Polypropylene loop because that's what came in the car. Quote Link to comment
Telkwa Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Vinyl would probably make more sense than carpet for my truck - anyone bought that? Quote Link to comment
converted_to_datsun Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Just got to home depot and buy a role of outdoor carpet and cut your own using the old one as a template. If you want a vynel floor, go to the junk yard and find one in a 720. 720's are super common and have vynel allot of the time. Quote Link to comment
converted_to_datsun Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Another thing you could do is bedline the floors and rock it that way. It looks real clean and you can just hose it out Quote Link to comment

converted_to_datsun Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Yep pull the plugs lol or you can just wipe it out with wet rags too. They sell non textured bed liner that would be easy to clean up. I've also heard the Bedliner helps to reduce cabin noise too Quote Link to comment
