C10 Carpet Too Short - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**damnyankee36** · 05-26-2024, 07:49 PM

I just tried to install the carpet, (ACC), in the 68 and it's too short. It doesn't go all the way to the back wall. I noticed the tag on the box says it's for a cab-mounted gas tank. The description in the Classic Parts catalog doesn't say anything about it being for a cab tank.

I went to ACC and they only show a full-length carpet for a large hump floor.

Does anybody know where I can get a full-length carpet?

Update. I now see ACC considers an original floor with a TH400 a high hump. I thought high/large humps were for 4-speed trucks!

High humps were also for pickups with the TH400 transmission.

You got it, high hump was for manuals, 4wds, and bbc/autos.

Not quite following why the carpet wouldn’t go all the way to the tank. It’s possible they have some that just go to barely under the seat?

Thanks, guys.

I discovered that ACC has a few combinations with humps, with or without tanks, auto trans, TH400 trans. Classic Parts only has two carpets; small or large hump. No mention of with or without tank. Figures...

I found the part# I need. I'll probably go with Amazon. Less than $200 free shipping compared to going directly through ACC for $300.

Check rockauto too, they carry thr same options.

I have ordered two from Rock Auto. One truck is a bb/400 high hump, one sbc/350. Both were short. If you order the gas tank cover carpet it will cover the rest of the floor.

Cool, even cheaper. $172 total. I'll be getting #17901. TH400 and covers the entire floor.

Odd I ordered from Rockauto also the one I put in my 68 actually was climbing up the tank I ended up loosening the tank and tucking the carpet under it . 1968 with 4speed so I ordered the high hump .

I just looked mine up at summit unless you do the price match Summit is a lot more money than the exact same carpet set from Rockauto even after shipping. And if you go to retailmenot you can get a 5% discount code .
