Trunk carpet question

Kelly Bell · Kelly Bell's Garage

Hi Guys! I am cleaning out my trunk while I am having the tank boiled out and am going to paint in there, and tidy up. ect. I plan on putting in new carpeting (P/N PEL-APBZ-TC74C looks nice) but looking at the pictures of the carpeting on this site, it appears the carpet attaches to some peice of cardboard, or fibreboard.

Does anyone know? Does anyone with a '75 or close have a peice of fibreboard in thier trunk that the carpet attaches to? Or does it just lay on top of the spare?

?????
Thanks!

There are snaps around the edges of the trunk. There is a cardboard piece over the fresh air blower/mixer that has a few of the snaps on it.

If you think about buying a used set (about a year old), pm me. I'm considering going commando.

No, it just lays over the tank and spare, just like the OEM trunk carpet. The only fiberboard piece is the one that covers the fresh air blower. After looking at the page where that above part # is located, I didn't see any specific pictures of that trunk carpet set. So, I'm thinking you may have clicked on the pictures of the "catch all" molded trunk mat set, just below the AppBiz carpet sets.

Here is a pic from the website, Looks like a piece of carboard underneath. See what I mean?

Like I said, that is a picture of the "Catch all" molded trunk mat, NOT the AppBiz carpet set. Look closely at the text on the page where you got that picture/link from.

O yes I C now! That is the "catch all" photo. (P/N PEL-CAMAT-5). Anyway , see how it looks like it is attached to a piece of board? It even has a handle...........
