I am looking at using the carpet from CHester and Herold http://autockms.com
I have read good things on here about their quality.

Major-
Where did you source the CCF/MLV material? What thickness is it and how well is it laying down under the carpet?
I'm almost done rehabbing/sound proofing my doors and panels and getting ready to move on to the flooring. Plan is to lay down deadener mat/quietcrap, then strip all the old jute off the factory carpet and use the MLV in its place. I don't want the MLV to be too thick. Thanks.
I got the MLV from http://www.soundproofingamerica.us/
CCF from http://www.supersoundproofingsales....ick-by-48-wide-per-foot/productinfo/09-42719/
don't recall why I bought from separate places..but both products are very good. Wherever you get your MLV make sure to ask and ensure its virgin material....I've heard the regrind material can really smell toxic.
Both of the materials are 1/8" think...the CCF can compress down to nothing, very light (can grab, stick easy though)...that's why you double it up in the footwells.
1/8" mlv is the ideal thickness for the car....and you would never want to go thicker...stuff is HEAVY....1lb per square foot. For the most part its been pretty easy to work with, just have to take you time cutting to get it to lay down (stuff won't do compound curves. the rear carpet laid nicely in the back area...its 40oz so the weight and the rubber backing have seem to make it pretty easy to get it to conform...once I get the passenger sections complete I'll post some more shots.

couple of shots of the CCF and MLV. Hadn't finished trimming the front section...laid down even better, really conformed nicely.
Gotcha, ok, you are talking about two different products...so you have 3 layers of different materials on your floor.
I have several yards of Ensolite from raam audio coming this week to complete the doors and panels. Probably won't use it on the floor, (maybe the wheel wells). Going with quiet crap, then MLV, tthen jute less carpet. Should make a world of difference, the doors are already 100% better and I'm only half done with them.
Oh yeah, this is a carpet thread...carry on.
ok last one. I used this site for much of my learning
http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/
stated you needed the CCF in between the MLV as a gasketing material....take it for what its worth.

Bear Lake Cruiser
SILVER Star
I went SOR premium gray and it is a most satisfactory product. Used the felt kit...quiet enough for me.
The expense of the carpet kits and the fact it will just get dirty while out on trails has me leaning towards a vinyl floor. Looking at this place.... They also sell carpet kits with sound proofing.

That the part is designated for '80 through '90 tells you that it probably doesn't differentiate between the tall floor/short seat posts of the early production 60's and the short floor/tall seat posts of the late year 60's and 62's. It will likely come moulded for the tall floor as a one size fits all and will have to be cut and sewn to fit on a short floor. I fought this on CCOT's carpet on Frankie and it was a PITA and looks poor.
I would certainly be interested in a review if you choose to try it.
I am leaning toward the SOR carpet kit. Not sure if it will fit my 85 though. I have an 86 parts truck and my builder is an 85. Like someone else pointed out the seat brackets/floor board seat mounts are very different between 85s and 86s. My 85 has the tall floor horns or short seat brackets so the carpet from the 86 won't fit right around the seats and comes up short on the edges near the front mounts from being held up higher. Anyway I appreciate all the info on this forum.
This is the picture I ment to attach. Sorry it's a little dirty.
Hey Major Nelson-
For completeness you should update this thread with your carpet postings from the "What did you do with your 60 this weekend" thread. It's really good info.

Skniper,
Thanks, appreciate the compliment. Here you go.
Marine grade 40oz with a rubber backing. http://www.marinecarpeting.com/boat...et-w-nuwave-backing-12-x-various-lengths.html Front and middle sections were pretty straight forward...the front took a while to make a template with butcher paper, transferred to the carpet...remeasure, cut, test-fit, cut, test fit, cut. Really happy with how it came out....the front is contoured even better now that its had a day to sit in there an "relax" a little. I was concerned it would come out looking cheap, but I have to admit, finished product is better than I had hoped...carpet itself is really high grade stuff...love it.
The installed pictures are much lighter in color vs the actual (closer to the color laying on the floor). So glad this one is done.
