New Carpet for my 71 Grabber

The carpet in my 71 Grabber was thrashed, so I took it out and dumped it. But now my interior is purty ugly (go figure), and I can't seem to figure out what to do. Is there a carpet kit available? Or what else should I do? Help?:confused: :confused:

Yep, there are carpet kits available. I have had good luck with ACC. http://www.accmats.com/

Sounds like a good tip. Thanks. Oh, and how's your NorCal Mav Owners List coming Corbin? Do you have anybody else on there that is located in Placerville? Because I know that there are at least two other Mav/Com's in my town, but I don't know if they've found their way here.

It's comming along pretty nicely, but not many new names have been added. I'll check for some around you and let you know.

Does the ACC carpet look just like the stock style and shade?

 

That brings a question to mind. I have a '69.5, and never had the original carpet. Is it the loop style or the cut pile style carpet? Thanks,

 

Well as far as I know, the mats are supposed to come in the stock colors. But it'd probably be a better idea to check it out for yourself if you're interested.

My carpet was two pieces so the ACC is definitly not stock style.

BTW .. I have contacted ACC and they do not make a two piece for the Maverick.

 

Hmmm. I'm not sure whether or not to be depressed.....:confused: :confused: :confused:

 

I have black loop carpet from ACC and I think that it is very poor quality.
Just my $.02. But, hey, I'm kinda picky.

I got cut pile for mine, and it turned out ok. I believe that the loop style goes up until around 74-75 and then supposedly they changed to cut pile. I don't know if that is true, but it's what I've heard. I prefer cut pile, myself.

I got ACC blue loop in the Sprint and am very happy with the look and fit. I also have blue cut pyle in the 77 and ditto on that.

 

I hate to say it, but I have absolutely no idea what the heck the difference is, or even the specifics of either one.

My '74 had cut pile from the factory. I think loop looks better in cars, so that is
what I bought.

Picture the difference as this. Cut pile you could comb through like the hair on
your head-unless you are like me and that takes less time these days.
Loop pile means the fiber is woven together in loops. It would snag a comb.
Does that make sense?

With loop, when you try drilling a hole through it and your floor to mount a shifter boot, it will catch and pull a fiber untill you have this neat racing stripe going across your carpet.
