Installing new carpet.. recommendations?

I'm installing new carpet for my '74 F-100... about to pay $90 at JC Whitney, but wasnt sure if I should go to another site? Not sure about quality? Fit?

Thx!

I just got mine from StockInteriors.com. I paid a bit more but got it in Ultra Plush with a rubber backing. Nice quality.

I usually go for ACC: ACC: your authority for custom automotive carpet, floor mats, and more. Most anything from JCWhitney concerns me unless it's a known brand. And if so, it's usually better to get it directly from the manufacturer. Shop around!


Btw, new car dealers usually offer 3M Scotchgard as a carpet treatment to stave off stains. Might be worth doing. Based on the reviews below, it's gotta be sprayed heavily, worked into the fibers, and allowed to dry.

Stock Interiors will ship you an ACC carpet, so tomato, tomoto.
I left my new carpet in the house for two days in a simulated install position. Next day it went in with no problems and looks fantastic.
Stock Interiors or ACC...you'll be pleased.
