Re: Yet another GMC build
That is one big piece of carpet. I fit together several pieces of poster board and taped them into one big piece, then layed it over my carpet and cut it out, with a a hair extra around the edges. I put the carpet in the truck and smoothed it out as best as I could, then did the final trim to fit. I'm not sure about the AD trucks but I think they are narrower than a TF truck. The carpet came 72 inches wide (although on the website it said 60 inches. ) and was plenty wide enough to do this one. I also cut a piece of carpet to glue on a panel that covers the space behind the seat and I have enough left to build one big floor mat. The part I haven't worked out yet is how to keep the carpet up at the top. I could glue the whole thing easy enough but what if I need to run some more wires later? I'm trying to think of a clip or fastener to avoid that.
