- Welcome back to First Place Auto Parts! In Part Two of our project upgrade for the '87 Chevrolet C10 shop truck, we dive into the installation of ACC Carpets, taking the interior transformation to the next level. Join Dave as he shares tips, tricks, and the step-by-step process to ensure a smooth carpet installation.
🛠️ *Project Highlights:*
In the previous video, we introduced the Flatline Barrier heat and sound deadener to address noise issues in the C10. Now, with ACC Carpets, we're enhancing the aesthetics and comfort of the shop truck. Follow along for insightful tips that make the installation process hassle-free.
🚗 *ACC Carpets Features:*
Discover the impressive features of ACC Carpets, replicating OE factory carpeting. From dielectrically attached heel pads to precise molding and factory-correct dimensions, this carpet not only fits like the original but ensures long-lasting quality. Dave outlines the tools required, including scissors, a razor blade, and a sharp picker screwdriver.
☀️ *Pro Tip:*
Before installation, Dave recommends laying the new carpet in the sun for about 15 minutes to allow any shipping wrinkles to relax. This step ensures the carpet is more pliable and easier to work with during installation.
👨🔧 *Installation Process:*
Watch as Dave unfolds the carpet, starting from the back of the vehicle, and guides it forward, fitting it snugly around the braking and gas pedal areas. ACC Carpets' molded design, derived from actual floor pans, ensures a seamless fit in footwells and transmission tunnel areas.
🔍 *Marking and Cutting Bolt Holes:*
Dave demonstrates marking and cutting bolt holes, emphasizing the importance of careful cutting to prevent snagging or unraveling. Pro tips include cutting an "X" and trimming the tips, allowing easy passage for mounting bolts without compromising the carpet's integrity.
🛑 *Final Checks:*
Before proceeding, Dave ensures no tools or bolts are left beneath the carpet. The sill plates play a crucial role in holding the carpet in place during seat installation.
🔧 *Seat Installation:*
Dave concludes the process by installing the seats, and the results are remarkable. The ACC Carpets, coupled with the Flatline Barrier, contribute to a quieter and more luxurious interior feel.
🚙 *Test Drive:*
Join Dave on a test drive to experience the significant reduction in interior noise. The Flatline Barrier and ACC Carpets have truly transformed the shop truck into a quieter and more comfortable ride.

Just came across your channel. Great videos!! Loving the Squarebody content. 😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Welcome aboard!
I just received all my carpets floor board, door, kick panels and back drop, I’ll upload install and reviews ASAP
Very cool. Would like to hear how the install goes
They will be up on channel as I getter done 😀
Not sure how my carpet I purchased (same as in video except it’s black) comes not even close to the fit you have right off the bat my edges that are finished are going way up on the kick panels and all around Where the door threshold trim is overhangs a lot it seem to need trimming right from the start. My is contoured somewhat but not nearly as smooth as yours lays into place 😢, not to say it what work I’m sure after fitting and trimming I’ll get it nice but idk it seems As Aldo Rayne would say Suspicious.
How did you run /hide the wiring for the door speakers?
Does the gas pedal screw through the carpet or run the carpet up to it and stop?
Could you tell me has this truck been lowered some ? If so how was it lowered because it appears it's got 15 inch wheels and slightly lowered and the look I'm wanting Thank you for your help
It has been dropped 2” up front and 4” in the rear. It is a great mixture of usability and aesthetics.
Where did you find those nice floor mats to match
The floor mats are made by ACC, the same company that manufactures the carpet and are available through First Place Auto Parts. They are very nice mats and don't slide around once installed. Thanks for watching!
It's this the mass backing carpet or regular?
The carpet installed in this episode was jute (not mass backed) which is correct for the year truck. Mass backed is offered on vehicles that came with it originally
Do the floor mats come with the carpet?
Floor mats need to be ordered separately from the carpet but are available in the identical colors for a perfect match

Ok. I just didn't see them on the website.

The carpet color was "Firethorn". Hope this helps!
