Carpet
I need new carpet in my truck as well, but I have thought about another way to go. I plan on using a liquid bed liner and lining the floor of the cab. Anybody have any suggestions on this?

I've heard of people doing this in the past and it sounds like a good idea to me. Just make sure you get a product that doesn't cure to a slick finish rather than a rubber like texture.

Hey Matt
I went with Line - X on the inside of my cab and couldn't be happier. Between my muddy boots and my dog its awesome and I don't have to worry about messing up my carpets.
Just make sure you relocate the ground wiring and high-beam foot switch before you take the truck in. Also, be sure when you take the carpet out to scrape the moulding glue clean.
I had my cab sprayed from the middle of the inside firewall to right under the back window.
Another thing is that I did not have the inside t-case access plate sprayed. If you wanted this done you could probably remove the plate and have it sprayed seperately. Im thinking about this. My truck is a 78' f150 4x4.
Good luck and let us know how it turns out!

Or you could go find some scrap carpet and cut to fit. That's what I did and I don't really care what happens cause if it gets messed up then I'll just go get some more. and the best part was it was free!

JC whitney had the med. blue carpet I needed to match the interior of my truck more perfect than just NAVY, they have more shades of whatever color your truck interior, plus it was a little more than SUMMIT (about $15 more)

Got mines from J.C.Whitney & CO.
Good quality stuff, lays in real good. Got the molded type.
Always try to purchase the molded type carpets for any vehicle.
The other (carpet that's been cut to length) is horrible
to fit in a vehicle.
Just my .02 CENTS worth.
