I wondered if anyone out there might know of a reputable source for some "old school" shag carpet to install in my rig.

Rugs.com has infinity shag. Decent price and a great pile. Usually $230 for an 8'x12' rug. Higher end carpet stores will sell solid shag but prepare for $9-$14 a square foot.

Thanks, Charlie. This is definitely an item that will take some time to find the right color and pile. I have found some vendors in Georgia that may be able to assist. I will share their contact info if they prove to be a good source. Thanks again.

That Georgia vendor makes the rounds occasionally. They’re not cheap. Definitely expensive. Cheers.

Take a look at the discount overstock style stores like OIllie's. They will always have some random ass rolls of carpet or large crazy Rugs. I know the Ollies i have been to always have a bunch of LARGE DEEP SHAG rugs. they are big enough to trim and use as carpet.

Don’t forget the dingle balls…


Recently purchased (10-2021) a 1991 Chevy G-20 “Shorty”. Past vans are a 1976 Chevy G-10 (purchased new in 1976 & sold in 1995). A 1978 Chevy G-20 Shorty purchased in 2010 and sold in 2015.

Sansom Shag has the BEST selection of old school styled shag around. A bit pricey, but worth it IMO. They are a USA made company, small business, and their customer service rocks. I mentioned them in another thread here --> LINK
