I have a 54 3100 with a SM420 4-on the floor (so trans cover has a hump). Trying to keep fairly color coordinated with brown. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 4,095 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 4,095 | You did not mention it but before put carpet in, put down sound and heat pads in. I took mine to an upholstery shop.

My truck is used on our ranch..So...I can "hose" it out if needed... Put carpet in and it would be impossible for me. But that is just my 2 cents.

Like with a steamer or something?
I've had no luck finding anything for my '49 3600 with the 4 speed. The tall tunnel really kills any pre-made options. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2020 Posts: 148 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2020 Posts: 148 | I ordered a carpet from the Tucker Parts link that GMJager posted. The only color on offer (on the website) for "high hump" floor shifter installations ('49 3600 SM420) came in blue, which worked out fine for me.
When the carpet arrived it looked good, had insulation on the back, good binding, but no cutout for the floor shifter. I called Tucker Parts to see if they maybe sent the wrong one, but no, they don't cut out for the shifter, in case someone has modified their truck to a column shifter. They also said that there's practically no difference between 'high' and 'low' hump and that the rubber mat they sell is the same for both. Lastly, they said you can have any color in the high hump version, you just have to call it in as they haven't gotten around to programming it into the website. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2019 Posts: 4,472 AD Addict & Tinkerer | | AD Addict & Tinkerer Joined: Feb 2019 Posts: 4,472 | When the carpet arrived it looked good, had insulation on the back, good binding, but no cutout for the floor shifter.

Thats strange as I’ve never seen a 4-speed column shifter in a AD truck! In the case a SM-318 was installed one would think that you would also install the 3-speed transmission cover.

But alas, no such thing. The carpet guys were referring to folks who delete their 4 spd in favor of an automatic. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2019 Posts: 4,472 AD Addict & Tinkerer | | AD Addict & Tinkerer Joined: Feb 2019 Posts: 4,472 | It kinda makes sense but I would still get the three speed tranny cover as it has no hole to patch.
