Auto Custom Carpets in Carolina. Do a web search and you should find them. Let me know if you have trouble and I can provide the number. Most of the F100 vendors sell their carpet, after marking up the price a fair bit. Their rugs are cut and sewn at the hump but they look real nice.

I found an Auto Custom Carpets in Alabama, but nothing in either Carolina. Is this the same company?

Yes, Birmingham, AL (256)236-1118

BTW, I paid $155 for a very nice carpet from ACC 2 years ago. First one I ever bought that actually fit.

Just looked in JC Whitneys catalog 681J-12 which came this week. They have what they call Vintage Style Molded Carpets. There is a Nylon Cut-Pile and a Nylon/Rayon Loop (they say a must for authentic restorations). Either kind is $145. I have not tried their carpet so do not know about the fit.

I've used JCWs carpet two times. It was garbage. Doesn't mean it still is but I would ask for a sample of any unknown brand carpet before I ordered.

Yes it goes wall to wall and would work fine with buckets. All one piece except for the tranny hump. It has a trim piece sewn on the edges and would look good without use of much trim at the door sill. Padding attached where needed. I bought extra yardage for my back wall at the same time for a good match. Installing that tonight as a matter of fact. I didn't want to use regular fabric there because it isn't near as durable or stain resistant as carpet.

You might try going through the vendors for a price. It is possible they may have a black rug they bought before the price increases. It is also possible that ACC doesn't give discounts to anyone but retailers now. Some retailers understandably get upset if their customers can go around them and save 40 bucks. Worth a little research anyway.

I had my 54 carpeted by the local upholstery shop. He did a great job and even made matching floor mats. He also made it in two pieces so I can fold the front side back to get to the battery compartment or the gastank sending unit. Total cost: $225. I say go shop for an upholstery shop. Good luck, John
