Anyone use OC Auto Carpets? (Auto Custom Carpets)

[QUOTE=71CHEVYSHORTBED402;9235702]Installed their loomed tank cover. Simple really, the cover has 4-5 clips that slide onto the tank's top edge in the right places. It has a flap that fits inside the lower RH pocket. A flap next to it covers a jack. There's perhaps 4" more on the bottom than shown, seems you just tuck that in underneath. No cuts required. Pending seat belts that will help hold it in place. It's made well, feels like a good weight for the task. The loom is in real good shape.

On some downside, one of these mats is frayed. Could live it if I had to, but this shouldn't cut QA. Pending ACC.[/QUOTE

Tony.
The molded tank cover and fitment looks great!
I assume you didn’t use the OE cardboard tank cover underneath?
Just the new tank cover?
I see you ordered the new C10 logo offered now from ACC on your mats. Sharp!
Sorry to hear about the fraying. IMHO, I would be picky too, for the money spent. I hope they resolve the issue.
Again, looks great and thanks for the ACC products update.

That's the "Gas Tank Cover Loop". The "molded loop" is bit cheaper. I installed nothing underneath, and stored the old divider away just to have it. It's actually in good shape. I like the logo as well, there's red in it, not shown by the pic. Looks old school.

Your photo of the tank cover fooled me into thinking it was their new molded version.
Your loop cover sure fits well.
The price difference is confusing. You would think the molded style would be pricier.
Thanks again Tony

After seeing the Tank cover, I’m definitely ordering one when I order my carpet.
Thanks Shortbed402 for posting the pictures and your description of ease of install

My ACC carpet. Great quality looks great and has finished edges and came with padding. I thought the color was a perfect match with the paint.

That couldn’t look any nicer!
Beautiful color contrasts
Thanks for the photos.

I just received mine. Yours looks great ! any trick to getting the dimmer switch grommet in correctly ? Is that an old air cond unit under the dash or new ?
Thanks Dan

Great looking truck. That wheel really shows well with your carpet color.
Nice!

I hired a guy to repair my seat, install the new SMS seat covers, and install the flooring and fuel tank cover. The seat covers are the original material. SMS did the sewing, and the fit is perfect.

Should have seen the upholsterer in action. 1K gets a foam cutter, I think the blade is 10" or so. An 85 year old, handy as heck fellow lives across form him, he welded a new spring where a piece had broken.

The driver's side was sunk badly. The upholster fixed that beginning with a 1" cut over say a 16" square section of the original foam. He glued a new 1" foam pad in place of the cut. Then he cut, cut, cut some more. Then he glued the original cut on top of that, cut cut some more to perfect. Anyway, new seat, I can finish the interior now, hallelujah. What a pleasure to finish my truck with the likes of door panels and that. But then again, can't say when my front bumper will be done ("any day now").

I messed up, we were in a hurry to install the seat to finish the job, so I forgot to take an image of the floor and fuel tank cover. That said, those went in so easily. He only spent two hours on it, the seat was 3.5. In a nutshell, he cut for the seat's bolts. Sliced for the fuel tank tube(s) and a pinch for one retractable belt, perhaps something for the belt buckles? His slices in the fuel tank cover allowed him to glue its bottom to the floor, folded forward, which is then covered by the floor carpet.

The ACC stuff fits nicely. They forgot the dimmer grommet. I called them, see what happens, but ordered another from elsewhere anyhow. Included an image or two with ACC's floor mats. Wasn't sure if I liked them at first. Edit, I don't I'm ordering solid black.

Your SMS seat came out beautiful, very sharp.
I bet you’re glad to get the seat, carpets and belts crossed off the list.

I was also pleased with the quality of the ACC carpet and tank cover.
It did take me a couple of days to get them fitted and aligned for all the bolts and sills.
Very happy with my end result.

That looks FANSTASTIC. Love that wheel. Yes, I'm real happy to cross that one off. The truck's 99.999% done. That and I get to drive it again, he had the seat three months before he got to it today. I was THRILLED when he said, cool, let's go do your flooring now. He's a busy guy. "Outback Dave". He's from Australia.

So, I’m about to order my new Carpets, and have a question.
If I buy the molded carpet with the MASS backing, is the JUTE PADDING needed?
My plan is to put down Sound Deadener, and the the MASS backed carpet.
Has anyone else done it this way?

[samkost]

Sound/Insulation and then the ACC carpet with mass backing is the way to go.
The mass backing carpet comes with a jute padding already molded in.
I went full coverage (some say a little overboard ) with the DynaMat and then the mass backed carpet.
Good luck with your install.

Hilarious! they also "forgot" my grommet - must be trying to save money. LOL They also sent me a free one only after an email to inquire if they had them.

Just call ACC directly and they will mail you the missing part and an informative product guide.
Great no questions asked customer service from ACC.
