carpet kit for 65 falcon

Hi guys, Where is a good reliable place to buy a carpet kit for a 65 falcon hard top? Also, I have a relocated hurst shifter, Would it be best to order a carpet kit for an automatic and then cut a hole for the shifter?

Also, Anyone using the hush mat? Or another similar sound deadner product? I see alot of people on TV using the hush mat. Looks great. Any thoughts? Thanks for any help.

Re: carpet kit for 65 falcon

If I remember right, I bought mine from ponypartsplus.com. There are quiet a few places selling them but, only a couple of places that make them. But, there are differences in the carpets.

The first one I ordered did not cover the rockers. It just laid flat in the floor. There was some scrap pieces in the box that was to be glued to the rocker channels and the metal in front of the rear seat that the seat rests on. That one was made by A-1 carpet in Ga. I called the factory and was told that was the way Ford installed them. I did a little research and found there is one made that covers the rockers and the seat support and it tucks under the door seal plates. That's the one I ended up with. Ask the salesman which one they have.
If you don't have the factory tunnel hump for the 4sp. you will need one to fit an automatic. Also there is a difference in bench seat and bucket seat carpet.
Good luck.

Re: carpet kit for 65 falcon

Thanks for the help. Yes I have a factory trans tunnel. I replaced the original 4 spd shifter with a hurst super competition 3 shifter. I had to cut some of the trans tunnel to make the new shifter fit. The new shifter is not located in the same place as the old shifter, So would I order a a carpet kit for an automatic. Thanks once again.

If the hump is still there on the side of the tunnel you will need a carpet for a four speed car to cover that hump. I'm not sure if the hole is precut or not it's been too long.

Falcon Enterprises or Dearborn has them but I can't recall where I bought mine. I'm not so sure about the shifter though because my car is an auto with an aftermarket floor shifter (B&M Quicksilver).
