Molded carpet from lmc
Hi, I need to buy a carpet for my 76 F-100 truck, I was looking at the molded carpet from LMC Truck, has anyone bought the carpet from LMC, or do you reccomend a carpet from another site. Also, how difficult is to install a molded carpet.
Thanks

I just installed mine about 2 weeks ago in my crew cab. I purchased through stockinteriors.com. They have excellent quality, lots of colors, and quick shipping. The carpet was also a perfect fit.
Their stuff is on sale now also--I think about $110 for a standard cab truck.
As far as installation--very easy. Once everything is removed, lay in your new carpet, find the location of your holes for seat brackets, seat belts, etc. Take a ball peen hammer, and with the carpet in place, lightly use round end of the hammer to mark where the holes are. You are actually using the bolt hole as a punch this way. It will usually score the carpet perfectly, and you can pull out the hole, or use a utility knife to finish cutting the hole out.

I bought a molded carpet kit directly from ACC - black loop 80/20 for my '76 F100 for $130 including sales tax and shipping, plus it fit perfectly. LMC wants over $200 for the same stuff.

I put the plush cut in mine. This is the regular price carpet, and is a nice carpet like in the newer trucks. I also have this in my 79, and it was the exact same carpet type.

I have two questions.
First, their carpets are listed as being from '67 - '73 and '74 - '79. I have a '73, but I assume it is the same as '74 - '79. Is this correct, or was there some small difference that would make the '74 - '79 carpet not fit properly?
Second, they list high and low trans tunnels. Right now I have a low trans tunnel with the C6 auto, but I am planning on swapping in a manual. Will I have to get a high trans tunnel for this swap or can I use my old one and just cut a hole in it? I need to know before I order my carpet.
I went to stockinteriors.com the other day and I think I have decided to get the super plush carpet from them. I requested samples also so I can see what I am getting. Nice feature.

The tunnel height is different from an automatic to a four speed standard (gear shift in the floor). If you plan on going with a four speed, order the high transmission tunnel. You have to cut the existing tunnel out and add an extra (taller hump) for the 4 speed.
