Advice on Interior Carpet ?

Hi folks! It's been a while since I posted, but I just had my 2000 F250XLT ExtraCab 4x4 painted and all rust replaced and/or repaired...I would really like get new carpet but really lost on what to order. I've done a bunch or poking around and really have about a dozen different choices. I really want to go with a very good quality OEM -style carpet. Any suggestions ?

I've installed ACC, Auto Custom Carpets products in the past and their quality always seemed very good to me. It's been quite a while, though so you may want to wait to see if there's any agreement or disagreement.

I also noticed there's several different replacement carpet textures and different tan colors. I want to get it replaced with the same OEM color/texture

I’m looking forward to hearing the suggestions. I have a 2002 F250 crewcab I bought new. It could use a refresh! On the topic of the rust repair. Only one of my rocker panels is rusted out, centre back door on drivers side. Did you replace those? If so where did you source them?

I opted to have the front doors replaced as well and everything was sourced by the bodyshop. The bodywork was good, but the fit and finish was HORRIBLE...I had it back 5 times in 3 months to have stuff fixed due to shoddy assembly. I'm actually now trespassed from that bodyshop for throwing a fit in their front office (justly so...it was about $20k) I'll add the photos to my Flickr page if you'd like to see them.... here's the link https://www.flickr.com/photos/143755...7720323929313/

That is an amazing amount of work! Thanks for sharing the pics. I think I may just leave mine as is. I’m not looking for a full restoration and as you said there is likely a lot more rust I can’t see. Thanks
