I haven't had this problem but I have heard of it over at FTE. Lots of people say you have to lay it out in the sun for a while but 3" is quite a bit

There actually is a thread going on over there about the exact same thing. If the carpet is made by ACC, most people are having trouble with it. I for one did also. It was a little narrow going up the sides. I compensated to give about 1" or so gap between the kickpanels and since I have a black rhinolined floor and black carpet I chose to keep it. I also spent alot of time with a hand steamer to get it molded. It's not perfect though and would have liked to get a better quality carpet that fit right. For now it works and figured that it would wear out in no time and so the next time I'd try and spend a bit more and do some more research to get a better quality carpet.

Buck is on it with info. From what I'm hearing/reading ACC is having major issues. I've seen the mold being off, too narrow and bad fit front to rear.

That would definitly make it 3 inches too narrow. I just got a rubber floor mat for the 72 and went to go rip the old stuff up and I find a nice 6x8 inch hole in the floor of the passenger side that wasnt there last year.

That's why I rhino lined my floor inside and underneath. The floors on these trucks are terrible for rotting out and it doesn't take very long with carpet or rubber mats over it.

I got the 2nd carpet with uncut edges. The backing is stiff as hell and I doubt I can get it
to lay down on its own. Its wrinkled terribly too.

Also got a clutch rod boot/grommet and its s little to big for the hole in the fire wall,
and the hole in it for the rod is to large also. It is a Dennis Carpenter boot
But it probably came from LMC.

Can't seem to get anything worth a damn.:headbang:

We were talking about that back and forth and you sent me the link and I put it in my favorites and it's either on my laptop or I'll have to hook up my desk top. I'll try to remember to get that done.
