I'm looking for some carpet for my truck and i was wondering if anyone here has found a good place that i can get some from. I want to try and find some that is already molded to match the floor and covers the entire floor area. If any one knows of a place that i can get some please let me know. Thanks.

J.C. Whitney used to have carpet back in the 90s....I recently bought a molded vinyl floor mat and it fit perfect! Nice!

Finding carpet to fit might be a bit difficult, if not impossible, item to find. The LUV was discontinued over 20 years ago and isn't exactly a sought after vehicle. You may just have to clean the interior of your truck and cut/fit your own carpet. Just take your time and you will surprise yourself on how easy it can be.

Well, thats not true at all. There are many, many places that offer replacement carpet for the Luv trucks. Use any search engine and type in "Automotive carpet" There are at least a dozen that offer Luv truck carpet. Yes, the Chevy Luv hasnt been in production for a while, but that does not automatically mean nothing is available for them. There are tons of places that have parts, all it takes is a little time using a search engine. Best of luck, RF.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Carpet is one of the easier things to find, JC Whitney actually lists it for the LUV in their paper catalogs last I looked, along with vinyl floor covers. Certainly there are some things that are tough or impossible to find for sale, but carpet isn't one of them.

I looked on the web for carpet for the luv about any place that sells carpet for a automobile sells it for the luv. You just got to look at the different sites and see what works for you, such as price or quality.

Absolutely there are parts all over this great land! You just need to spend a little time looking.

I'm going to be getting this real soon too, after I treat the floors with POR-15. I got the "Floorpan and Trunk Restoration Kit" on the way!

I am really enjoying this LUVVING!!!!!!!!!

The only problem is all the carpet I have found is 1/2 carpet or down sized and only covers half. Have not found a full carpet kit as of yet. But the upholster shop can do make one
