Replacement carpet?

I'm going thru my truck and doing some body work floor pans etc. The carpet is coming out and I would like to replace it. I have done some searches on here and looking online. Any recommendations? What color matches the stock grey? Has anyone tried this vinyl mat thats out there in the first gen? How are these after market carpets fitting?

i replaced mine a few years ago, but I cannot remember from where. The grey was very close in color. I cut me some floor mats from the old carpet, it was already form fitting......Mark

I used the vinyl from ACC which fit pretty well. The material is some nice thick stuff. I'd use it again.

Stock Interiors has vinyl flooring and carpet for cheap with quite a few color and napping choices for their carpet. You can send in a request for free samples as well.

The seat is held down with 4 bolts from under the truck, 2 on each side.

very easy to get the seat out, Just spray the threads with PM Blaster from up top in the truck on the inside of the risers.

I just recieved new carpet from Stock Interiors, looks and feels very close to the original. Haven't installed it yet so can't comment on the fit but so far happy with color and quality.
