I ordered mine from Auto Custom Carpets, I would not recamend the jute padding insulation. it was more trouble than it was worth.

Wilcox is it....
I used Wilcox...
They will drop ship it from ACC.
Also, don't forget to put an underlayment....
Then you will NOT need the jute backing.
I didn't realize it and ordered mine with the jute.
I then had to remove the jute padding cause the carpeting will be to thick to install with both jute & underlayment.
Just my 2 cents...Dave

I ordered my entire interior from Wally Knoch who gets them from Al, his brother..New seats on foam and new carpet together ran me $850.00.
I just finished my carpet job in my '79....Here's a link to a few pics! Any questions, just ask
