Hey All - I have read the instructions multiple times, but still have questions about the wheel well carpet. I'm pretty sure I have the correct sides identified. I'm struggling to figure out a few things:
1. Does the wheel well carpet cover the wiring loom running up the driver side wheel well? If so, how?
2. It says the door welting should hold the carpet, but i'm struggling to see how that's possible. Any advice?
3: Does the carpet cover the back seat "pivot" bracket? Or, is it cut around that?
4: Should that be trimmed, so that the rear cargo panels go over the carpet and secure it?
Hopefully all that makes sense, but feel free to ask questions.
Thanks.

For my part, I'll be watching for the answer to number 4.
I'm struggling to get the carpet to lay flat at the edges in the rear. It seems that either the carpet and welt is thicker than the old carpet, or the upholstery panel is slightly too wide from the bottom of the window to the bed of the truck. (Refurbished by a local upholstery shop using the original as a pattern. So, no telling how true to the original pattern.) Haven't figured out the solution so I'll be interested to know how folks answer number 4.

Hey. Been using your pics for reference on my install. It looks like the carpet lays over the "bolt" under the gas pedal. Is that how you did it? Or, did you cut around and let that bolt come through the carpet. Thanks.

Sorry guys, I have an elderly father in the hospital, and I just saw this post. Let me see if I can help.
You wrote: I have read the instructions multiple times, but still have questions about the wheel well carpet. I'm pretty sure I have the correct sides identified. I'm struggling to figure out a few things:
1. Does the wheel well carpet cover the wiring loom running up the driver side wheel well? If so, how? Yes. The carpet should be put in place, and once in place, the edge that runs down the front side of the wheel well should be pressed to fit the pinch mold in the door opening that the welting presses down on to. In other words, once you hold the carpet against the pinch weld and trim it to the same height, the thickness of the carpet and pinch weld are still thin enough to allow the welting to be pushed down over both of them to hold it in place. Look at it like this: Just think about painting your wheel well and the inside of the pinch weld. You want to the carpet to cover the same area the paint would - and in the same fashion. Then, when you push on the welting, it looks finished. Note: this all presupposes you're adhering the wheel well carpet to the wheel well. That allows for the carpet to run up to, and up, the pinch weld. Hope this is clear.
2. It says the door welting should hold the carpet, but i'm struggling to see how that's possible. Any advice? See 1 above
3: Does the carpet cover the back seat "pivot" bracket? Or, is it cut around that? It's been so long since I installed my last 6x carpet that I can't remember. As long as you have the wheel well carpet on the correct wheel well, that small detail is really a matter of preference. If you can leave it to where the carpet covers the pivot, it will almost certainly look more finished. It just has to be otherwise trimmed enough to not interfere with the seat back operation.
4: Should that be trimmed, so that the rear cargo panels go over the carpet and secure it? I'm not sure to what you're referring by the term "that." The rear cargo panels should go over the properly-trimmed rear cargo carpet, but they don't secure anything (other than themselves to the brackets on the rear quarter panels)
Hope all that makes sense.

Second question:
For my part, I'll be watching for the answer to number 4.
I'm struggling to get the carpet to lay flat at the edges in the rear. It seems that either the carpet and welt is thicker than the old carpet, or the upholstery panel is slightly too wide from the bottom of the window to the bed of the truck. (Refurbished by a local upholstery shop using the original as a pattern. So, no telling how true to the original pattern.) Haven't figured out the solution so I'll be interested to know how folks answer number 4. I'm not sure to what you're referring by "welt." There is no welting back on the rear cargo panels. Perhaps you're referring to jute? (the fibrous insulating material underneath the carpet.) If you're having a hard time fitting the rear panels because of insufficient clearance at the bottoms of the panels, your panels are too tall. That's why I always advise people to use no thicker than 80mil sound deadener with the factory side panels.
What you can do to possibly remedy this problem is to trim maybe an inch or two of the jute back away from the side panels to create more room underneath them. Then you'll have only the thickness of the carpet to contend with.
Hope this helps.

Third question:
Hey. Been using your pics for reference on my install. It looks like the carpet lays over the "bolt" under the gas pedal. Is that how you did it? Or, did you cut around and let that bolt come through the carpet. Thanks. I remove the bolt, cut a small hole to allow access to the threaded floor pan side, and reinstall the bolt. If you don't do this, one and, eventually, two things will occur: at the least, it'll discolor / disfigure the carpet and make it look bad. The second is that it'll eventually wear through (both are dependent upon how often your truck sees wide open throttle.....and with these old slugs, they generally see that condition a LOT! HAHA!)

How do I place an order and see the actual product
Has anyone used the ACC (American Custom Carpets) sound deadening pads? What's been your experience?
