Lets Talk Carpet

[Andy 2]

I have looked quite extensively for a carpet for my 1988 2 wd ext cab. All the ext cab 2 wd carpets I have found start at 1989 and go to 1993. My question is this: Is the floor pan the same for the '88 and '89 trucks? I recently pulled the interior out of a 1991 reg cab 2 wd and noticed that the tranny hump looked a lot like my '89 4x4. It even had the same console with the shifter hole closed off with a rubber pad.

Same floorpan.

Thanks for clearing that up. Now my curiosity is up and would like to know if the regular cab 2 wd trucks started using the same floor pan as the 4 wd. It would make sense to just have one floor pan that worked for both.

Just got a new carpet kit from ACC for my extended cab. It fit just as well as I remember my single cab carpet from them fitting. It came with plenty of extra so I could trim and fit it as I wanted.

looks good, i was looking to get carpet for my truck, I wasn't sure how the carpet for the extended cab would look,

[noahwins]

Only difference in floorpans I've noticed is the tranny hump for the automatics is significantly bigger than the manuals. But I don't know if that would effect aftermarket carpet fitment. If they're not OEM, they're usually cut generously.

that does look good. It looks like 2 pieces. I assume the holes for the storage compartments and the seatbelts are not pre-cut.

[DroppedMitsu]

It is 2 piece, and it fits very well. As with all ACC carpets there are no holes or anything cut out, they let you do that so you can customize/fit it like you want. And I am assuming ACC has molds for both manual tranny and automatic floorplans(and yes they can be MUCH bigger depending on which model year auto tranny, 90+ are HUGE even compared to 89 2.6 auto) as they tell you to specify the version of cab(std or ext) and also which transmission you have. And they come with A LOT of extra material(which I like), so you can trim and tailor it to your needs. I've been very happy every time I've bought from ACC.

[Andy 2]

perhaps they dropped the 2 wd floor pan after '89. Did you get the extra thick backing they mention on the website?

[DroppedMitsu]

No, didn't see the need. The carpets are already soft and padded enough, plus my whole cab has had sound deadener mat installed.

Looks nice. Have to ask thou is it cheaper to get a cut pile or oem fitted one . I was a little worried about getting a cut pile carpet because fitment issues but I bet it's better quality carpet?

[DroppedMitsu]

The carpet is still molded to the floor pan like an oem is, unless you specifically just want a piece of cut pile which will be way cheaper either way. My carpet only cost $170 off ebay, guarantee an oem carpet is going to be EXPENSIVE. The carpet is also much nicer and higher quality than OEM and fitment is pretty spot on for the single cab and extended cab carpet kits I've received from ACC.
