88-98 carpet in 82 K10 swap
« on: September 19, 2015, 09:28:25 am »
Has anybody successfully put a carpet in their squares from one of these trucks I can understand why it may not fit but I had a truck I scrapped with an absolutely mint interior with buckets and console and super clean carpet, was going to attempt the swap today, any input if you've made or seen it happen would be great, thanks

So it actually worked out fairly well, now it's not show quality by any means but it's not a bad fit, trucks a 4x4 so it has the high trans tunnel, so the only issue I had is the carpet becomes slightly narrower it clamps down under the sill plates but there's still a 1/4" gap on both sides and the hump in the floor under the seat there's a gap on the side of about 4", built some frames for the seats -/ well, but overall I can live with it cause the carpet is immaculate. Put the factory grey floor mats in today which are also immaculate but aren't pictured.

Despite the shortness that actually looks pretty good especially if you had a truck that just needed some quieting in the truck.

This might be something I do myself.
