Default Carpet ?

I have called 2 supporting vendors, they don't stock carpet for a late 79, is there any place that a person can call and get carpet without having to wait 2 or 3 weeks for them to make it? Just needing the rear carpet.

Most vendors sell carpet in complete sets and most buyers purchase the set. Waiting two or three weeks only for a rear does not seem unreasonable.

I would just order a complete carpet so it all matches and you don't have to wait. it's not like they are wicked expensive or anything.

Yes, and you would be surprised how often you think you only need a front or a back, then you put it in and go, "uh, oh."

The carpet set is something we do carry so I'm confused as to who would have told you that we don't. If you ordered it today it would ship Tuesday to you from the manufacturer direct.

We don't carry the rear sets in house and only direct ship mainly because it's unusual for someone to want just a rear set, maybe whom ever you spoke with got confused I don't know. But you show being in Martinsburg so you would have it probably by Thursday if ordered over the weekend.

Here is the link for the rear black 79 late set and it's eligible for the New15 discount code.

The rear set is just like the front set or a complete set, if you ordered it the shipment time would usually be the next day. It ships direct from Alabama.

Andrew is new to sales so possibly he was confused, I don't have a clue to be honest. The link I posted above is for the rear set in black for the late 79.
