TPI,

I've never found precut carpet (or correct rubber) that was known to fit these suburbans. Apparently the floor isn't the same as a truck, although I've never had one to try out.

I had to take my 65 Suburban to an upholsterer and have the carpet made. Had the full floor, wheel-wells, lower gate and kick panels done in the 90's. Cost at that time was $500.

There is a pretty easy solution for this. See Auto Custom Carpets: www.accmats.com buy a precut carpet for a pick-up for the front seat area and they sell material by the yard you can have made up for the flat back end. I did this and it was slick and cost effective. If there is a drawback it is that you are limited to loop carpet!

When you order, tell them what you are doing and that you want extra material left out at the back end. That will give you extra length straight back behind the front seats so you can get that flat floor covered in one piece. One extra yard will more than do it. Then order a second piece for the rest of the back floor.

I believe they can put any carpet they have in stock in the mold, so you can choose from all the colors.

ogs,

I was going to buy the front section of a truck and just leave the rubber mat in the back, but the place I was ordering from said that even the front section was different -- what was your experience? Does it fit well at the sides?

I know this is an old thread however when I read it, I was left a little unsure and was hoping one of you 60-66 gurus could help me? I'm looking to get carpet for my Suburban.

Is the front floor pan section of a 1965 Suburban the same as a 1965 C-10 pickup truck or is the trans hump area different?

It appears that some guys say it isn't and others say it is and I'm just looking for some clarification. I understand that I will need extra yardage to do the second row seating floor section (I don't want carpet all the way in the rear cargo area, I'm leaving the wood floor uncovered) but I want to make sure the mold for the front floor pan is correct.

Also does anyone know if the C10 pickup rear cab wall carpet would cover the second row seating floor area by chance?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a Happy 4th all!

the hump area is the same. the difference is the passenger side between the seat and sill plate. the sub has a flat step, while the pickup is sloped. some suburbans may have had the floor/inner rocker replaced with the typical pickup piece. you can also screw or rivet in a simple filler plate.
