Pulling the carpet lets you find all the hidden crud that snuck in, and it's a great opportunity to run wires any way you want.
If the carpet is too far gone, you could send the truck out for recarpeting, but you might want to consider buying a ready-formed carpet from one of the aftermarket houses; some specialize in Chevy/GMC. They aren't hard to install.
i have been thinking about ordering replacement molded carpet, but what a PITA, i really don't want to have to pull all the trim, and seats and mess out.
I'll give the simple green & towel a go, and see what happens. if it does not lift the stains, then i'll look more into replacing the carpet.
anyone have any suggestions on cleaning the leather?
