carpet questions
I am looking to replace the carpetin my 84, can somebody tell me the difference between mass back and poly back and what are the advantages and disadvantages of them. I noticed there is a price difference in them. I have looked at a few different places to buy the carpet from, Ecklers,mid america,etc.does this make a difference? or are the carpets made from the same manufacturer regardless of where they are being purchased ? Thanks.

Mass backed carpet is the stock carpet and you should try to use that when you replace it since the vehicle was designed with this type of "system" (but only if you care about interior noise). Mixing mass and poly parts don't yield the right effect regarding sound intrusion into the cab. For this vehicle, mass has better acoustic benefits. But poly is lighter. So depends what you're going for.
