Why get the 1955-1959 4-Speed 4x4 Chevy Carpet Kit?
No matter the condition of your truck, there are many great reasons to replace the carpet in your Chevy.
Years of foot traffic, spills, and dirt will create wear and tear to the interior of your cab. Over time, the carpet becomes worn and faded, maybe even discolored.
A new carpet kit in your classic Chevrolet is a quick and easy way to bring your truck’s interior back to life!
This kit is made with a quality material that is friendly to any budget.
Carpet kits are a great way to change the color of your carpet. If you are painting your truck a different color than the original a different color carpet may look better than the original.
Each truck model will be different. This kit is designed specifically to fit inside a 1955-1959 4-speed 4x4 Chevrolet or GM truck. That way you won’t have to worry about an improper fit, the carpet being the wrong size, or about the padding being in the wrong places.
Over time the carpet will settle into the grooves of your cabin floor, creating an even more perfect fit.
Replacing your carpet is a great way to check for damage to the body of your truck that has been hidden by your old carpet and underlayment. Taking out the old carpet gives you the perfect opportunity to fix any rust or holes that you might not otherwise be able to.
Tips for Installing Your Carpet Kit in Your 1955-1959 4x4 Chevy Truck
When you take out the old carpet and underlayment there might be wires stuck to the underside of it. You will want to remove them carefully, and will want to be careful when cutting the old carpet out so as to not cut the wires.
Taking the time to scrape the old glue and underlayment from the floor with a putty knife and/or wire brush will go a long way to providing you a clean base to install your new carpet kit properly.
Check for holes and rust after you have removed your old carpet. There might be damage that you might not have seen otherwise, but this is the best opportunity you will have to fix them.
When you get your 1955-1959 4x4 Chevrolet Carpet Kit, roll it out in a warm or sunny place. This will help it settle into its molded shape. There may be wrinkles and flat spots, but don’t worry. These will disappear as you install it.
Taking out your seats, pedals, and other parts before laying your new carpet kit might make the installation easier. Going the extra mile will help to make your installation look like it was done by the professionals.
Understanding which way and how your carpet is supposed to lay out before gluing it down may help you avoid a major headache. Try laying it out inside your cabin floor before you glue it down.
