Question Replacement carpet install/Seller recommendation

Looking to replace my carpet set in my 88 Cab and was wondering how much difficulty I might run into being a novice. Could be a fun blizzard day job here in Maine. Thanks!

PS: Any recommendations on the best place to purchase the carpet set?

It's not difficult at all. I've pulled all of mine out to remove the heavy sound/heat proofing and replace it with very light s/h material. Took an afternoon.
Not sure about a source though...someone will pipe in on that.

A buddy of mine works at a place called Applied Business Concepts. Send him an email at bob@appbiz.com and he will hook you up with the owner of the place.

Sailing has been fun-all three times this summer. "Sailing" on a really big boat in Alaska this week though.

Sprayway Fasttack 92....it holds better that all of the 3m spray adhesives I've ever used. It held heat insulation to the inner firewall of my HotRod where the temps would get to 160 degrees...the 3m stuff always failed. Great on carpet too.

The 3M stuff I refer to is their high temp. Never had an issue. Even used it for the engine sound pad. Regular spray adhesive will not hold, I agree.

I used 3m 74 spray adhesive on mine. Haven't had a problem in the year since I installed it.
