Title: Replacement Molded Rear Carpet for a Bucket Seat Truck
Post by: 78BBSTEPSIDE on July 05, 2009, 09:03:17 pm

The carpet that came out of the bucket seat "donor truck" has a tag indicating it was manufactured by E.T. Barwick Mills, which appears to have been a supplier of original carpets to GM and then later acquired by ACC (Auto Custom Carpets, Inc.). I do not find this item listed on this site with the other ACC Kits; is there a supplier of molded replacement carpet available? This is the carpet that fits against the back of the cab and onto the floor and mates up to the front carpet.

The carpet kit in the catalog is cab specific, not seat specific.  It covers the complete floor to the back ledge as factory.

This piece goes around the inside of the cab and down onto the floor; is it factory installed or is it possibly dealer installed carpet? Is this item available molded from ACC or any other vendors? Thanks

Up the back of the cab below the window?  NO you can make it though with excess carpet.  I have had a factory bucket truck and it didn't have this on it.

That is correct, below the window and runs down under the seats and console.

When I had mine done in the 79, the guy just ordered an extra yard or so of the same carpet and made it up to fit. My carpet also came from ACC.

Thanks for the input. I will have a piece made when it is time, was just hoping to find a molded replacement.

The ACC carpet we sell is molded and it covers the complete floor, you would only need enough to cover the rear under the window.
