I got 12'X 8'. comes in the 10th. JC whitney wants over $100 for non fitted carpet, and they don't have white. could have gotten marine grade from a boat place down the road, but I think the house grade will be ok
and now you're going to need a steamer to form it over the tunnel, some backing glued to the carpet, and a whole lot of patience to make it fit!!!!! Don't know about the old chebbies, but the carpet for my pickup came molded, sewn edges, cut to fit, with the small pieces for the bottom of the doors for $128.00. The fit is perfect, and it has a jute back with a 1/2" thick pad glued to it!!! Fitting plain old house carpet around the tunnel, in the footwells and up the firewall is near impossible to do without some special equipment!!!!
